What is the truth?
When searching with relevant keywords we found one of the Facebook posts carrying the viral image and mentioning it as ‘AI kodumais’ (AI Atrocities).
In addition to it, when we searched through the recent photos on his Instagram profile we found no photos relevant to the viral images. Instead, we found one of his photos with both his arms tattoed. And multiple other photos of him also show the same tattoo on his hands. But this is found missing in the viral image.
To one of the viral posts by Gopal Goswami, he replied to the same post himself that it was created by a Twitter user Bhargav Valera. The Twitter bio of Bhargav Valera says he is a filmmaker, photographer, and artist.
