FAKE: AI-generated image of Pope Francis goes viral on social media.

Social media was brought to a standstill after photos of Pope Francis wearing Balenciaga puff jackets went viral.

The photos were first shared on Subreddit before going viral on Twitter.

We can now confirm that the photos were fake.

In one of the photos, The Pope is seen wearing Zucchetto skull cap and with a crucifix hanging on the large white coat.

The images were created on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) image generating app ‘Midjourney’.
