Last week, AI-generated footage of a fiery Eiffel Tower appeared on TikTok, amassing 4.7 million likes and 87 million views. Though it was clearly fake to some, many users failed to realize this. Thousands tweeted #PrayForParis in response across various social media channels.
A search on TikTok for 'Eiffel Tower' brings up 'Eiffel Tower on fire' and 'Eiffel Tower 2024 fire' as the top results.
As should be hopefully clear by now, the Paris landmark is not on fire and continues to welcome tourists
