Web3 Diaries – AI Fake Image Triggers Selloff
This Monday marked a new high—or arguably low—in demonstrating the power of artificial intelligence (AI).

It also appears to have spurred a momentary sell-off in the U.S. stock market.
The alarming image, portraying smoke billowing from the iconic building, was disseminated by numerous accounts, including a Russian state-owned media channel.
Interestingly, reports of the false Pentagon explosion also made its way onto non- official Twitter accounts with blue verification checkmarks, further amplifying the confusion and the impact of the falsehood—highlighting both the importance of rigorous source verification as well as the unsurprising result of Elon Musk’s new criteria for account verification.
