Fact
Newschecker noticed the overly glossy texture, the unnatural and dramatic movements of the animals and protesters in the video, all signs pointing towards AI-generated media.
We then ran the video past Hive Moderation, an AI-content detection tool, which found it 99.9% likely to contain AI-generated or deepfake content.
We then ran screengrabs past another detector, WasitAI, which, too, found that the images, or significant parts of it, were created by AI.
