Giant octopus 9 meters long

After the giant octopus suddenly washed ashore, many tourists ran away in panic. Rescue workers had to immediately intervene to calm people down and ensure security. Afterwards, a number of experts and competent personnel arrived at the scene and estimated that this giant creature was up to 9 meters long, breaking all previous records for the size of an octopus.

After the article and pictures of the giant octopus went viral, many netizens were surprised and raised many questions because the images were too sharp and unbelievable, as well as the inconsistency in the shape of the octopus. The truth was revealed not long after: This is a fictional story created by AI.

The first post is known to come from an account that specializes in posting stories, images and clips created by AI on Instagram. The person who posted this news also clearly confirmed at the end of the clip with the caption “This is a fictional story”.

This fact has made many people “breathe a sigh of relief” but also amazed at the power of current AI. In the above Instagram account, there are many other stories and images that are completely fictional but are told through both words and images in a very interesting and convincing way. This true joke also partly shows how in today’s era of AI “invasion”, fake news can be confusing and influential if not properly controlled.
