These photos, generated by a <strong>artificial intelligence<\/strong> (IA), created a real buzz, sowing confusion and intrigue among tourists. The bright and unusual colors captivated global attention, leaving many spectators perplexed.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The origin of images and their distribution<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2040\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/intercoaching.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Des-rumeurs-de-Paris-coloree-en-violet-avant-les-Jeux-Olympiques-inquietent-les-touristes-une-intelligence-artificielle-en-cause-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"discover the worrying rumors of Paris dressing in purple before the Olympic games, a situation linked to artificial intelligence which worries tourists.\">\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p>These images were first published on <strong>Xiaohongshu<\/strong>, a Chinese platform, by a digital artist under the pseudonym <strong>Muse_note<\/strong>. Using deep neural networks, particularly <strong>GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks)<\/strong>, the artist transformed his ideas into impressive visuals that looked realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reactions and skepticism<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>While these images have been widely shared, some observers have expressed skepticism. Details such as <strong>uneven lines<\/strong> and the <strong>wrong proportions of buildings<\/strong> betrayed their AI-generated nature. The mention <strong>\u201cCreated with AI\u201d<\/strong> appearing in the images eventually dispelled doubts, although a large number of people were initially fooled.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The importance of shades of purple for the Olympics<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Rumors of Paris preparing to host the Olympic Games in a purple palette were reinforced by the explanations of Alain Blondel, former decathlete in charge of the athletics events at the Paris Games. According to him, the two shades of purple were intended to offer a <strong>maximum contrast for television<\/strong>, better highlighting the athletes\u2019 performances.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Paris\/status\/1793651870835306745\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visual errors that reveal deception<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Despite the beauty of the images, visual inconsistencies allowed experts to detect their falsification.
