An image is circulating on social media, showing a young girl sitting next to a snow leopard, sparking curiosity and wonder. However, the story that accompanies it is fictional and created by artificial intelligence (AI).

The viral image suggests that the girl, known as Gulmina from Gilgit-Baltistan, raised the snow leopard from a cub, and they share a lasting bond as the leopard roams the mountains. Although this narrative has captured many imaginations, it originates from digital artistry.
