Daily Mail’s AI-Generated Climate Apocalypse Not Backed By Science, Data
While painting a false picture of mankind's future.

A recent post at the Daily Mail (MailOnline) titled “Revealed: What life on Earth will look like in 2100 – with entire cities plunged underwater and millions of people perishing in the heat” uses artificial intelligence (AI) image generation to create apocalyptic pictures of various locations, supposedly replicating what the world will look like in 2100 due to climate change. [emphasis, links added]
The AI-generated images are entertaining but lack a basis in solid evidence or data. While MailOnline tries to dress the post up with supposed facts, it presents nothing more than science fiction, just like the movies the story references in the article’s opening sentence.
The MailOnline piece opens by referencing Snowpiercer and The Day After Tomorrow, saying “…scientists predict that the reality might be far more shocking than anything imagined by a Hollywood studio.”
The MailOnline claims they “used the latest scientific research to predict how the world will be in 2100” by using the Google ImageFX image generator.
