The city of Akron, Ohio, can rest easy regarding escaped lions.
The Akron Zoo made a Facebook post clearing up rumors that four African lions escaped their enclosure earlier this week.
“There has recently been inaccurate information about the Akron Zoo’s African lions escaping earlier this week. Some statements include a false AI photo of a lion in Akron,” the post wrote.
This was a response to an AI-generated image of a lion standing next to a trash can from earlier this week, which went viral and sparked concern that the lions might have escaped.
Whoever created the fake AI image capitalized on the Akron Zoo being closed on Wednesday, November 4. The zoo was closed for an annual large-scale drill with the Akron police and fire departments, but the AI image creator used this closure to suggest the zoo had to shut down because lions had escaped.
It’s unfortunate the Akron Zoo felt like it had to debunk this fake narrative. But the bottom line is that everybody remained safe, no animals were outside of their enclosures, and this will not be the last time people get fooled by an AI-generated image.
Fortunately, it seems that the original AI-generated image that sparked this whole narrative has become much harder to find online since it was confirmed to be fake, meaning that social media users won’t risk getting duped by it all over again.
