Snopes makes a call on Michelle Obama pregnancy photos
September 25, 2023 | Melissa Fine

The world demanded photos of former first lady Michelle Obama pregnant, and, last week, it got them… sort of.


excerpt:

For years now, conspiracy theorists have insisted that Michelle is a biological man.

Internet sleuths pointed to a clip of comedian Joan Rivers taken shortly before her death, who dryly declared that “Michelle is a tranny.”

She’s “a transgender,” Rivers said. “We all know it.”

Well, ask and you shall receive… -ish.

“BREAKING: Michelle Obama silences ALL conspiracy theorists and demands a universal apology after FINALLY releasing glowing pregnancy photos when she was expecting Sasha and Malia,” one user on X proclaimed.

Along with the caption were four photos of Michelle looking as though her water was about to break, her hands lovingly resting on her very pregnant belly.

More surprising to many than the images of Michelle Obama pregnant was the fact that she apparently has six fingers.

Others wondered why she appeared to be over 50 years old in the shots.

“Probably the worst photoshopped images I’ve ever seen,” stated one user on X.

Photoshop is so 1990! ;-)  AI generated pictures is where it's at nowadays: "Finger errors" usually represent AI errors (AI generated pictures)...for some reason AI has issues with the # of fingers humans have.

Put something like "photo of Michelle Obama during her pregnancy" into an AI like "https://www.craiyon.com" and look at the hands if they are included. There are better/faster AI photo generators like "https://www.bing.com/create" ("Dall-e" based) but require a log-in.

That's pretty bad; it'll be downright scary when they can replicate actual individuals in situations and circumstances those people were never in.

Human males do not have a uterus. Human males cannot 'get pregnant'. No matter how much they 'transition'; no matter how much they 'believe'; it is simply not possible. "Belief" and "Ideology" cannot override simple reality.
