AI News/Wire summary
Viral Bezos and Statham hair photos are edited fakes
Key points
- Images circulating on X, Threads and Bluesky show both men with much more hair than usual.
- The Verge found watermarked originals via Google reverse image search; Bezos's dated 2023, Statham's 2011.
- No Content Credentials or SynthID markers were found, so whether AI tools were used is unknown.
Why it matters for marketers: Marketers using celebrity imagery should trace photos to original sources with reverse image search before reposting, since AI labels on social platforms often miss edits.
