Shoes that help people fly?Humans have created many crazy innovations, but we probably haven’t reached the level of flying shoes yet. Recently, a video introducing the “Tesla Glide” shoes has become a hot topic on social media.
The video shows the protesters exiting the stage and floating in mid-air around the room as the so-called audience watches in awe and applauds.
There’s just one less important issue. That means the entire video is a deepfake. To know this, you just have to watch the audience’s facial features change up and down and morph into each other.

Elon Musk’s Tesla has not made any such announcements about new products that even remotely resemble flying shoes.

This is not the first time that “flying shoes” have become a hot topic. Just last month, an AI-generated video showed a man standing up and “walking” through the air wearing “Aerofoot” shoes. This video created by Jyo John Mulloor claimed that the so-called innovation was announced at “Gitex 2029”. Mulloor’s Facebook page features a similar portfolio of digital content.
How to spot a deepfake
-
Pay attention to body features, especially around the fingers and ears, for any irregularities or imperfections.
-
Look out for swaying or awkward movements, unnatural lighting, and unrealistic facial expressions or postures.
-
Too perfect? If the image or video is very polished and free of flaws, it may not be genuine.
-
You can also look for reverse image search tools and image metadata that indicates whether AI was involved in the creation of the image or video.
