Thanks. The tweet thread was very strange to follow.

This woman copied a picture of the original tweet - I don't know why people do that but I guess it's good she did because the guy deleted the original.

According to an online translator the screenshot says "These pictures from yesterday's protest are crazy and for once @OdieuxBoby didn't take them. Reform of. #Retraites".

Anthony @WebCrooner seems to be a fan of network security and AI image generation and has posted a lot of fake pictures as well as links to articles on how dangerous AI is and how people need to avoid getting scammed. On his timeline he deleted his tweet but retweeted tweets of people tweeting screenshots of his original tweet.

The next day he retweeted a story by @france3Bretagne. "Il génère des images via #IA pour #sensibiliser aux effets pervers des robots. Un Breton ouvre un débat qui buzz sur Twitter. https://bit.ly/40NaiHA #disinformation #AI #ReformeDesRetraites"

That link goes to an article showing how the pics were generated with Midjourney by a Breton "to raise awareness of the perverse effects of AI."

“The three images were not taken during the demonstration against the pension reform. I generated them on the Net", explains Anthony. "My goal is to raise awareness of the questions posed by images generated by robots... I wanted to do two tweets, says Anthony. A first with my three photos, then a second indicating that it was a fake”. The plan did not go as planned. “Immediately the photographer I had identified in my tweet, Odieux Boby, the alias of Boris Allin, saw that it was a fake and indicated it in a message."

Anthony preferred to delete his initial message on twitter, “so as not to leave false images on the web”. Its objective of talking about the risks with false images has been achieved.

Twitter is fucking weird.
