A newspaper clipping from the Hindi daily Dainik Jagran is being widely shared on social media (here, here), claiming that a woman in America gave birth to four puppies. Let us verify the claim made in the post.
Claim: A newspaper clipping from Dainik Jagran claims that a woman in America gave birth to four puppies.
Fact: The viral story is fake and has been created using AI. Neither Dainik Jagran nor any other credible media outlet has reported that a woman gave birth to four puppies. Biologically, it is impossible for a human woman to give birth to dogs. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.
We checked the Dainik Jagran e-paper and website but could not find any report about a woman in America giving birth to four puppies. We also searched for reports about the viral incident and found no such news in any credible media outlet.
Next, we reviewed the viral clipping using an AI-content detection tool. The tool indicated that the clipping was likely AI-generated and was created using OpenAI’s AI tools.
Further, Humans and dogs are biologically different species, so a woman can’t give birth to puppies. Similar claims have circulated on social media in the past, but multiple fact-checking organisations have found such stories to be fabricated hoaxes (here & here).
To sum up, an AI-generated newspaper clipping falsely claims a woman gave birth to four puppies.
