Claim:Can a fish have human facial features and exhibit human intelligence
On social media, a post is becoming viral. It was uploaded on January 18, precisely one week after the research was completed, by user @Bobbyboom88. In the video, he describes homo picis, or human-faced fish, an aquatic creature with fish and humans that is thought to live in the Keranji jungle. The lake that is home to these fish is known as the “samsahara.”Since then, the video has received 6379 bookmarks, 27.8k likes, 1392 comments, and 25.1k shares.
While many fans seem to think that fishes like that actually exist, comments on the video suggest that it may have been altered with artificial intelligence.
