Firefighters have responded to a reported burning truck in Parola, Manila but the photo sent to them turned out to be just AI-generated, GMA Integrated News' Jhomer Apresto reported on Unang Balita Friday.

Four fire trucks, including those from the Bureau of Fire Protection, arrived at the location of the supposed fire incident Thursday morning. But the firefighters saw that the truck was actually unburned. 

"Hinanap namin at nakita naman namin 'yung truck na buo naman. Ang AI akala mo parang totoo na talaga," Recto Volunteer fire chief  Samuel Fenix said.

(We searched and we found the truck intact. The AI-generated photo looked really real.)

"Ang follower namin, ang sabi sa kanya, sinend lang din sa kanya, na-alerto lang din siya," he added.
