This is pretty shady. If you watch that video, that is the presenter not the supposed victim. The image does look very sloppy. Either they used really bad AI filters or it just happens to look fake.
Yes, that’s reporter Nour Hegazy but it looks like she was added to a different photograph - look at her elbow near the watercooler and you can see a bad cutout job. It’s not AI though, that gives completely different artifacts.
Yes, at a second view, it looks more like good old photoshop. But that’s a really shady thing to do.
I also watched the interview with the video. I find it good that there is an investigation but I have the feeling there is important context missing. Who was filming and why, catching the right few seconds there (with the video showing nothing before and nothing after) and why on earth was there half a dozen police men with a police dog of all things in the first place? There must have been some escalation in the first place.
Also, the interview mentions that the throwing to the floor was apparently a professional deescalation technique, rather than mindless violence. The question is why something as harsh was applied in that situation which again leads to s complete lack of context.
This image looks prompted as hell
I think you broke rule #1 of quokk.au with that comment, especially considering the article is about a pregnant woman getting assaulted by the police.
Also, it does not look prompted. I see generative AI every day and this ain’t it.
Can you show me the #1 rule?
And how is that rule violated by questioning the authenticity of an image that is either a reporter on a greenscreen or a photoshopped image?

It’s the reporter standing in front of a green screen.
