Trump posts AI-edited photos of the White House renovation to show off his work; images flagged by Google SynthID.

Trump posted a set of photos on Truth Social showing the White House renovation. A photo comparing old and new marble columns was flagged by Google's SynthID Detector as created or edited by OpenAI. Netizens pointed out inconsistencies in the number of steps on either side of the renovated photo compared to the original, mismatches with pre-renovation images, nearly identical reflections in windows and positions of baseboards at the column bottoms; The Verge confirmed that uploading such an image would trigger a SynthID flag; the White House has not yet responded.
