  • An image has been shared hundreds of times on Facebook alongside a claim it shows the shape of Rome's ancient Colosseum carved into a real human tooth. But the image was shared in a misleading context; it was created digitally by a Bangkok-based design studio. A wonderful creation made out of a real human tooth, reads the Sinhalese-language caption alongside the image shared here on Facebook on November 25, 2021. Screenshot of the Facebook post captured on December 14, 2021 The image has circulated online alongside a similar claim since at least 2020 . Facebook posts shared hundreds of times here and here claim the image shows an actual tooth. In fact, it is a computer-generated image. A reverse image search on Google found this Instagram post published on October 11, 2019 by Illusion CGI Studio -- a Bangkok-based CGI studio according to its profile. The image's caption reads, Don't let germs settle down / Client: Maxam / Campaign Name: Civilization / Agency: JWT Shanghai / Production Company: Illusion CGI Studio. The post also contains the hashtags #cgi and #digitalart. Screenshot of the Instagram post, captured on December 10, 2021 Below is a screenshot comparison of the image in the misleading posts (L) and the image from Instagram (R): Screenshot comparison of the image in the misleading post (R) and the image on Illusion studio Instagram (L) ( Lakna PARANAMANNA) We confirm that the [image] was created digitally using CGI techniques, a spokesperson for Illusion CGI Studio told AFP.
