With tens of millions of shares via Instagram stories in less than 48 hours, this AI-generated image of tents reading "All Eyes on Rafah", likely created by a Malaysian photographer, has now become the most viral AI-generated image I've ever seen, and one of the most shared images ever on Instagram.
Its virality could be down to several factors:
- Reaction to a deadly fire at a refugee camp in Rafah
- Shared by many influencers, athletes and celebrities
- Ease of share via Instagram stories
- Instagram is the source of most original content from Gaza
- Cannot be removed for platform violations
