The paper investigates whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can generate and detect realistic multimodal fake news on social media. Using a multi‑agent framework—comprising a story agent, an image agent, and a critic agent—the authors produced over 9,000 paired multimodal news posts across science, health, and entertainment domains. They benchmarked 16 open‑ and closed‑source MLLMs for automated detection and found that most models fall far short of human accuracy, especially in identifying image authenticity, highlighting the need for stronger defenses against social media fake news.
