A number of videos created by artificial intelligence began circulating in late July and early August, coinciding with planned demonstrations in capital cities against Lula and Alexandre de Moraes, and in favor of Jair Bolsonaro. The content shows crowds of people dressed in green and yellow, and many trucks and cars displaying the national flag with the intent to incite protesters across the country. The images, however, are fake and contain evidence of synthetic alterations such as differences in resolution and distorted proportions.
