Michael always protected us, and now we are protecting Michael,” said Michael Schumacher‘s wife Corrina, towards the end of the Netflix documentary Schumacher. The world has deeply missed the man who has been kept away from the public eye since his skiing accident in 2013. However, a few have time and again tried breaching his privacy to get a juicy bite for the tabloids. One such magazine now seems to have found itself in a pickle.

The magazine, Die Aktuelle, recently ran news claiming that they have an “exclusive interview” with the 54-year-old Schumacher. In addition to piquing the interest of the readers, it kept up the invasive attitude, claiming the said interview isn’t a statement from friends or close ones but by the Red Baron himself. After the clickbait approach, at the end of the said interview, they revealed that it is nothing but an AI-generated one.

The German magazine, which has previously sold multiple misleading headlines against Schumacher, is not a new entrant in the scenario.
