The creator of these images, Eliot Higgins, is the founder and creative director at Bellingcat, a Netherlands-based investigative group. Higgins also spoke to media outlets about the images he created using Midjourney version 5, which got him banned from the generative AI platform. Speaking to AP, Higgins said that using the software was to demonstrate how good the algorithms have become at generating realistic images. However, there is also the flip side, where the images are created with errors, such as Trump having three legs. This is the very image that went viral and clearly; people missed the major flaw in the image. There is another issue with Trump shown with a police belt, which shouldn't be the case.
