Experts weigh in on whether Kamala Harris' 2024 election rally crowd photo was REALLY 'AI-doctored'

AI experts say the image of Kamala Harris' rally does show hallmarks of being heavily edited -- though this was probably done using basic filters rather than AI. Donald Trump caused a furor over the weekend after claiming the picture had been'A.I.'d' to boost the size of Harris' crowd in Michigan and exaggerate her popularity. The former president and some of his online supports pointed to the unusual lack of crowd reflection on the plane's turbine as evidence the image had been doctored. They concluded there was only a four percent chance it has been warped using the software. But it's possible the photo had been heavily filtered and edited, they said. And the plane's curved reflective surface also creates an illusion where objects above and below the surface are most visible and dominate the reflection, they added.
