Following the reported capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, social media has been flooded with misinformation, including AI-generated deepfakes and outdated images. One AI video depicts a dramatic raid with explosions and the killing of an aide, while another AI-generated image falsely shows Maduro in US custody. An unrelated 2003 image of Saddam Hussein's capture was also misrepresented. These misleading visuals, collectively garnering millions of views, highlight the challenge of distinguishing reality from fabricated content in major news events.
