I apologise for misleading Nigerians, a lady X user has said while apologizing over an artificial Intelligence-generated image she used in circulating a message
The X user, Enori, admitted in her apology that she used artificial intelligence to create and circulate a fake image showing that an itel Power Tank had exploded.
In an apology posted on social media, she said the image and the claim about the explosion were fabricated using AI.
“Hi, good morning, everybody. I made a post three days ago claiming that itel solar fan exploded and that it was overcharging, which I used AI to create.
“It didn’t happen, and I’m very, very sorry to the itel team and to the itel customers,” she said in her apology post, adding”
“I’m very, very sorry. I know what it feels like to have a brand and for someone to just try to bring it down, and it was never my intention.
“I didn’t know it would go this far. I didn’t even think of it, and I’ll never do it again.”
According to her, the image was not a photograph of an actual incident, and shouldn’t have been believed by people.
“To the incoming customers that may have felt deceived, or angry, or felt like or believed that it was real, it was not real. It was AI and I deleted it,” she said.

Many X users had swooped on the message on X earlier in the week when it shared and believing it to be real.
In a warning however, itel described the image as fabricated and warned that it would not tolerate attempts to use fabricated content to discredit its brand or mislead customers.
It added that anyone attempting to use artificial intelligence-generated image to discredit the company should expect legal action.
It should be noted however that Itel markets a Power Tank which serves as a backup power source in case of electricity outages
