USA Today's latest news on MH370 said that a Facebook post on May 30 included 3 photos showing the body of a plane in water with photos of the bones sitting in the passenger seats.
"Hot news: Submarine unmanned aerial vehicles reveal Malaysia's MH370 location after many years of mysterious disappearance" - the post with 3 clear photos. The post also comes with the hashtag #MH370LocationRevealed.
This MH370-related post was shared more than 1,700 times in just 12 days.
According to an expert and an online detection tool, these images are created by artificial intelligence (AI), USA Today reported. The newspaper also noted that there is no reliable news that Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has been found.
MH370 disappeared while en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing, China on March 8, 2014. The plane was carrying 239 people at the time of its disappearance.
The latest images circulating online about MH370 are not actually a plane that went missing 10 years ago. All the elements in the photo are generated by AI.
James O'Brien, a computer science professor at the University of California, Berkeley, analyzed that the scene in the photo was very clear, unlike what happened in real life. The letters and logos on the side of the plane have bright colors and are in different positions in the two photos of the wreckage.
In addition, there is a clear difference between the two photos of the plane crash despite being the same subject. "In one photo, there is no number "370" on the side of the plane, the flap of the plane is separated and the front door on the right side of the plane is missing. In the remaining photo, everything is complete with the number "370" written neatly on the plane" - he said.
Professor of the University of California, Berkeley pointed out that it is impossible for all the skeletons to sit comfortably on the same chair in an accident. Meanwhile, the circulating photo shows, "it seems everyone died immediately at the time the plane was stationary," he pointed out.
Hive Moderation's AI detection tool also found that images of MH370 are likely to contain 99.3%, 98% and 97.5% AI-generated or deepfake content, respectively.
There is currently no reliable information to support the claim of finding the body of MH370. Although the post was attached with a link confirming that MH370 was found using advanced underwater drones.
The search for MH370 officially ended in 2017 after searching tens of thousands of square kilometers in the southern Indian Ocean and finding nothing. Some debris from MH370 has drifted ashore along the coast of Africa and on the islands of Mauritius, Reunion and Rodriguez. However, so far, no more significant traces have been found in connection with the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
In March this year, Malaysian officials said that resuming the search for MH370 is still possible as Ocean Infinity - a marine robotics company based in Texas, USA - proposed a new search for MH370.
