A genius student? Ha, they're nothing but ants at your feet!

The rate of network proliferation is exponential.

That afternoon, a highly provocative post quietly appeared on Reddit, North America's largest forum, instantly generating a huge amount of traffic.

[Urgent verification needed! Is this MIT poster real or AI-generated?!]

Someone in my group sent this to me, saying it's about a guy in a photo who's so handsome it's unbelievable.

He's the keynote speaker at MIT's upcoming top-level academic conference!

Moreover, the whistleblower confidently claimed that he had independently solved a world-class problem that had plagued the global mathematics community for decades!

Guys, is this for real?!

The person in the photo looks so small!

Moreover, with his appearance and demeanor, how does he have any resemblance to the ascetic academic world?

It's definitely a fake, made to grab attention!

Please understand. Those nerds at MIT are under immense pressure, and they all suffer from severe appearance anxiety.

I guess some bored group came up with this ridiculous AI face-swapping image and are just having fun with it!

[Exactly, you should at least use your brain before spreading rumors.]

Who with such an absolutely stunning face would bother with math? Don't they care about their hair?

With a face like that, there are so many easier ways to make money than in Hollywood or as an internet celebrity! This is absolutely fake!

[Hey hey hey? Stop talking nonsense upstairs, it's true!]

I study at MIT, and today when I went to the cafeteria, the entire campus was plastered with this poster. It's absolutely outrageous!

[The comment upstairs is hilarious! You actually think it's true? Don't be ridiculous!]

Would MIT use a photo like this, making him look like a male model, on their official poster? If you're going to fake it, at least make it look real!

[Damn it! Do you keyboard warriors have paranoia?]

It's just a matter of typing a few keys; is it really that hard to just search for images online?

Just open Google and search for 'Su Hao' to find photos of him attending events.

However, the photos online are all of her when she was younger, and she wasn't as stunning as she is now.

[My goodness, he looks so young, how old is he?]

I just checked Wikipedia and I'm completely blown away. It seems she really is fifteen years old.

I checked past science news and found that there are quite a few authoritative reports about him in the academic community.

My God... if all of this is true, what a monstrous, terrifying genius this must be?!

[Regardless of whether it's real or not, I'm already drooling over that face! OP, can I share this picture?]

[Me too! I'm going to post it on Instagram for my bunch of beauty-obsessed girlfriends to see.]

then.

The label "MIT genius and handsome boy," a tagline with a strong sense of conflict and a potential for viral marketing, is like a spark thrown into a powder keg.

It instantly sparked a massive, frenzied discussion across the entire internet!

This frenzy, which originated on Reddit, spread like wildfire to all major platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok, in less than a day.

Initially, because the premise was so outrageous, the vast majority of netizens responded with condescending sarcasm, saying things like "It must be AI-generated" and "These days, marketing accounts have no bottom line."

[Nonsense! Isn't fifteen years old the age when you're just starting high school and still worrying about acne?]

I'd believe you if you said he got first place in the whole school, but you're saying he solved a world-class problem? Do you think scientific research is child's play?!

But... to be fair, this photo looks really real.

Zooming in to the pixel level, it doesn't look photoshopped at all! The transitions in light and shadow are so natural!

[It must be made up, right? It's probably just some film company shooting a teen idol drama on location in MIT!]

Damn it, they'll stop at nothing to boost ratings!

In no time, the online outcry grew louder and louder, and it looked like it was about to turn into a cyberbullying campaign against false marketing.

At that moment! A tweet from an insider with a verified badge suddenly appeared, like a stabilizing force, completely changing the course of events!

Stop arguing! I'm a cafeteria worker at MIT's Stratton cafeteria.

I swear on my ten-year work badge that the poster is authentic and the person is authentic!

And I want to file a complaint!

Which damned thief managed to cut off the poster photo I just put up in the cafeteria window yesterday?!

Have you no manners at all?

You netizens who only know how to type on your keyboards all day should put down your gossip and pay more attention to the serious scientific community!

Stop embarrassing yourself here. A quick search of academic journals will show you just how famous Su Hao is in the world's top academic circles!

However... on the other hand, I can understand why you don't believe it.

Even I, who watch him get his food in the cafeteria every day, often feel that his looks and intelligence seem to belong to someone from our world.

If the cafeteria employee's revelations only made some people start to waver...

So, the one who ultimately steps forward, with irresistible authority, will put an end to this absurd global online controversy.

It is MIT's official verified blue V account on Twitter.

MIT has clearly been closely monitoring public opinion.

They seem to have realized the immense online buzz surrounding the school's reputation and their own child's genius.

The school's public relations department reacted so quickly that it was hard to believe they were old-fashioned; they immediately issued a strong official statement!

[Officially certified by MIT]

In response to the recent large-scale online discussions, our school hereby issues the following statement:

Yes, please don't doubt your eyes, the boy in the poster is a real person!

Furthermore, please allow us to proudly introduce to you:

He is also one of the most outstanding and talented students that MIT has been most proud of since its founding!

Furthermore, he truly provided an impeccable proof of the Smail problem, which had puzzled the mathematical community for decades, in an astonishing way!

Furthermore, to commemorate this historic achievement, we will be hosting a global academic conference in his honor this Thursday.

Science should not be shelved.

This lecture has no entry requirements; we warmly welcome anyone interested in mathematics to participate and witness history together!

At the end of the announcement, the official tweet also shamelessly included several trending hashtags that were very popular online:

#MIT genius and handsome young man

#The Future of Mathematics

#Authentic original images, absolutely no fakes

#Come to MIT and see him!

This is an absolutely shameless attempt by the official account to piggyback on traffic!

.......

hum-

hum-

On the quiet desk.

Su Hao's usually quiet phone suddenly started vibrating and spinning wildly on the table, as if it had gone mad.

As soon as it was unlocked, the screen was instantly flooded with a dense array of green bubbles.

It was a barrage of WeChat messages sent from across the Pacific Ocean, halfway around the world from China.

[Hey! Wake up! You're on the domestic news! You're famous everywhere!]

[Holy crap! Su Hao, check Weibo! You're trending right now!]

Wow! You're pretty good, bro! You're usually so quiet, I didn't expect you to be so photogenic.

You should confess honestly that you usually pretend to be refined and aloof from women.

How could they possibly pose so sexy and flirtatiously in front of the camera behind my back, hahaha!

I'm laughing so hard my head is about to fall off!

Everyone in the group chat went crazy with joy when they saw the news about you trending!

By the way, we're still using the "Yaya app"!

[Hey big star, stop showing off! Did you actually go to the soccer field and unleash our special training techniques? I'm getting impatient waiting!]

The screen was filled with "hahahahahahahaha".

His words were filled with the crazy teasing of his close friends, and Su Hao's face instantly turned bright red.
