Miguel Tellado says he will sue PSdeG over AI-generated photo
Miguel Tellado said he would sue the PSdeG, the Socialist party in Galicia, over a photo it shared on social media.
The image appeared to show Tellado meeting Koldo García and García’s lawyer.
The PSdeG later removed the photo, saying it could not establish whether it was real.
A fact-checking site later verified that the image had been made using artificial intelligence.
Tellado accused the party of defamation and directed a public message at its leader, José Ramón Gómez Besteiro.
The PSdeG said it had not created the image and did not know about any planned lawsuit.
The dispute leaves the parties at odds over the photo and over questions the PSdeG says Tellado should answer about meetings involving the PP and Koldo’s legal defence.
Miguel Tellado said he would sue the PSdeG after it shared a photo purportedly showing him with Koldo García and García’s lawyer.
The PSdeG later removed the image, saying it was unsure whether it was genuine.
Maldita.es verified hours after the post was deleted that the image had been made using artificial intelligence.
The PSdeG said it had not generated the image and that it had already circulated on social media and in a digital media outlet.
