Perhaps you’ve seen a photo of Pope Francis wearing a puffy white coat circling around the Internet. It was the first thing I saw today while scrolling Instagram and sipping my morning coffee – and it almost went through my nose. the coffee, not the picture.

Of course, it’s fake, 100% AI-generated. But it turns out that many people thought it was real. This includes me, who didn’t remember to check the hands in the tiny image on my phone screen. And it illustrates perfectly why AI-generated images, no matter how fun they are, can be dangerous in a world filled with fake news.

Ammunition, explosives, firearms and selfie sticks will be banned at Papal events in Washington. That’s right, the Secret Service is in charge of securing one of the most high-profile people in the world and it’s the elongated selfie accessory that is keeping them up at night.

Being designated as a National Special Security Event by the Department of Homeland Security, visitors to events and activities planned for Pope Francis’ visit to the capital will have to comply with a lengthy list of security and transportation restrictions, including a ban on the beloved and behated selfie stick.

So, how long before jokes begin about how selfie sticks were created by the devil and anyone using them will go to hell?
