Trump's White House 'restoration' photo flagged as AI-edited by Google detector
President Trump posted a before-and-after photo on Truth Social showing a White House column touted as freshly restored, but Google's SynthID Detector flagged the 'after' image as created or edited with OpenAI tools. Reddit users noted the two photos share near-identical angles, window reflections and cardboard placement, but have mismatched and uneven numbers of steps. Other photos Trump posted of the White House facade and heliport did not trigger the AI watermark detection.
