The claim that "The Simpsons predicted Pope Francis' death of 2025" is false. It originated on a TikTok AI-generated video that was circling different platforms.  These videos feature inconsistencies, such as distorted text and robotic narration, which indicate they were artificially created rather than actual clips from the show. While The Simpsons has made vague references to a pope dying in past episodes, none specifically mention Pope Francis or the year 2025

Great catch on the ai generated video! I like how you pointed out the signs of it being fake, like the robotic narration and distorted text. you could make your post even stronger by adding a link to an official list or data base of Simpsons episodes to show that none of them mention Pope Francis or the year 2025.

great fact check I love how you mentioned it was ai generated because that was the first thing I acknowledged when I watched the video and also mentioning this debunking it immediately cause ai has validity. with clips not even from the show on the TikTok video.
