A person who tweeted artificial intelligence-generated photos of flooded houses and streets in Shizuoka Prefecture, which the tweet said was the result of Typhoon No. 15, expressed regret in an interview with The Yomiuri Shimbun about having caused confusion with misinformation.
On Sept. 26, the Twitter user, who lives in Tokyo, posted three images at 4:39 a.m., accompanied by text saying: "Drone-shot photos of flood disaster in Shizuoka Prefecture. This is really too horrible." The images show houses and streets submerged in water and mud.
The post was retweeted with comments like "Oh, no!" and "We need to help those affected immediately."
