”Don't slaughter innocent love bugs” - tearful plea... the truth is = Korean report

Recently, an interview with an animal rights activist who wants to stop the massacre of love bugs, which has been proliferating, was posted on social media and has become a hot topic.
On the 9th, a photo of an animal rights activist named Go Ki-young being interviewed while holding a signboard that read "Love Bug Rights Committee" was posted on social media.
The video has been viewed 660,000 times as of 6 a.m. on the same day. In the video, the activist is seen crying, saying, "At this very moment, innocent love bugs are being slaughtered.
"I hope that the genocide will stop and we will become a society where we can coexist," he said. However, when the love bugs attached themselves to his face and body, the activist suddenly screamed, "Oh no, they're stuck to my face! Get out!"
Ms. A, who posted these photos on social media, has strongly criticized the activist for being "contradictory." Other posts mocking the activist were also posted one after another.

A reverse Google search by AFP revealed that the original poster of the photos was an AI called Lil Doge, who produces a range of satirical material.
Initially, Lil Doji posted these photos on social media with the explanation that they were "images created by AI based on a true story," but online reports said they were from an actual interview.
However, despite the explanation that the image was created by AI, the first post also contained comments such as "Take away all the love bugs and enjoy midsummer," and "Protect them and let them live."
Many mocking comments were posted, such as "Please live," and "There are all kinds of people." In particular, in the video, an activist was heard crying and saying in an enraged voice, "It is not natural for people to coexist with each other.
The video also showed a scene of the robot saying, "I'm a human!" and then a scene of the robot struggling to avoid the love bugs that had attached themselves to it. This also drew comments such as, "I didn't know it was an AI," and "I thought it was real."
The AFP news agency said, "There are some unnatural parts in the photo, such as more than six fingers, and there is another strange cord attached to the microphone," and added, "AI technology is developing rapidly, but the visual
"There are still visual inconsistencies and these areas can be used to identify fabricated photographs."
