Facts or fiction?
Socchi fact check We performed reverse image searches using video keyframes, but no conclusive evidence of the origin of the video was found. There were also traditional signs that it was suggesting it was a fake.
First, it seems clear that AI was used to create the video simply by observing the faces of people in the crowd. Most people seem to have their eyes closed or have a hollow socket. AI usually struggles to create eyes with students that look realistic, as Northwestern University points out. Report“In AI-generated images, the eyes may be overly shiny, blurry or hollow.”
It also showed that slowing down the video frames caused distorting faces or pixels in different areas of the face. In particular, on the left side (as shown in the video screenshot), the face appears to be deformed and without visible human features. This glitch in this video isA patch that looks like Smudge,' Another well documented sign that reflects AI could not properly create realistic, human-like functions.
