On Thursday, former US president Donald Trump and the former US chief medical adviser Dr Anthony Fauci made headlines for some fake AI-generated images of them kissing and hugging. The images were posted by the team of presidential contender Ron deSantis

While researching for the images put out by team DeSantis, we came across a bunch of AI-generated pictures of the former president and his anathema Fauci.

Though the two men never shied away from criticising each other in real life, the internet apparently "ships" them as a couple.

A video released by the Florida governor's  rapid response team known as 'DeSantis War Room' featured six images of Fauci and Trump. In three of them, the two men can be seen hugging or kissing.

While the video did not carry an AI-related disclaimer, these images are clearly fake.

Talking to Reuters, Matthew Stamm, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Drexel University, said that as per an analysis of traces left behind by synthetic image generators, the three images of Trump and Fauci kissing and hugging are likely AI-generated.

Let's take a look at the AI-generated love story of Donald Trump and Dr Anthony Fauci, which is an election issue in the US now.

Top 10 Most Expensive Cities. Four Of Them Are in Asia

A critical global financial hub of the United States, New York tops the list, having experienced a rise in inflation rates and cost of living as compared to other cities in the country.


The second spot is taken by Hong Kong, which remains among the top-most expensive cities. Although it has fallen in the ranking like most cities in the area, its inflation and cost of living still soar high.


Geneva ranks as the third-most expensive and most expensive location in Europe for expatriates. It is comparatively costlier when compared to most countries in terms of cost of living, food, transportation, and other essentials.

Singapore has climbed to the fifth spot. According to reports, it has the highest transportation prices in the world. It is also among the most expensive places for alcohol, tobacco, and clothing.


With high accommodation, transportation, and food costs, Zurich has become a challenging place for expatriates. Prices of necessities like fruits and vegetables are considerably higher in Switzerland than in most countries.


Although the city of San Francisco is known for its innovation and charm, the cost of living in the city makes it hard for people to live here. It is mainly due to the higher demand for land compared to limited land availability.


The Mediterranean metropolis Tel Aviv ranks eighth on the list. The city is one of the most expensive for buying alcohol, groceries, cars, fuel, and other items.


Another Asian city, Seoul has also made it to the list. The country itself is costly to live in, however, the housing prices in Seoul push it to the top ranks.


The fourth-most expensive in Asia, and tenth in the world, Tokyo, is one the most pricey cities to live in. Being a developed island country, Japan’s economy is difficult to engage with other countries. Tokyo is comparatively more expensive as it is a metropolis.

Aptly named Deadly Nightshade, this toxic plant belongs to the same family as tomatoes, potatoes and aubergines. Just 10 berries from this plant can kill an adult human being. 

One of the world’s most famous, tobacco is a highly toxic plant. It is designated as a cardiac poison and if eaten directly, may even result in death.


This tree is also called the 'little apple of death' as every part of the tree is highly toxic. The fruit of this tree is the most dangerous, as just one bite can lead to potential death. Even standing under this tree during rains is lethal as dripping water from the leaves can make the skin burn.

Colloquially called the 'Suicide tree', it bears a highly poisonous fruit that can make the heart stop.

The plant is widely regarded as one of the world’s most poisonous plants and was used extensively in Ancient Greece for the purpose of executing prisoners who were condemned to death.



This plant, or at least its effects, was commonly known as 'milk sickness' in the 19th century, as it was frequently ingested by mistake. It is so deadly that even eating meat from an animal that has died from its effects could lead to death.

This species is widely considered the deadliest plant in the world due to the presence of ricin within its beans. Consumption of these beans is considered life-threatening unless treated, as ricin is highly-toxic to both animals and humans.
