A town deleted a social media post warning of a bear sighting after discovering that a picture it had received showing the fearsome creature was AI-generated.
“The town prioritised informing residents to avoid danger, but we apologise for causing any anxiety or confusion,” the northern town of Onagawa said on its official X account on Wednesday.
