evidence
1. Visual discrepancies in viral clips
If you look closely, you can see a man in the background with an expressionless expression on his face. This is a common anomaly in AI-generated scenes where secondary characters lack realistic movement and emotion.
2. Presence of Sora watermark confirms AI creation
In the upper right corner of the video, you'll see a watermark that says “SORA,” which is OpenAI's Advanced Text-to-Video Model. Its presence strongly indicates that the clip was not actually recorded, but was created using an AI tool.
3. AI detection tool flags video as composite
We analyzed the clips using Hive Moderation, an AI detection platform.
- Result: The probability that the video was generated by AI is greater than 90%.
4. Voice is also generated by AI
The audio in the video was tested with Resemble AI's audio deepfake detector, and the audio was ultimately marked as “fake.”
verdict
So it's clear that the video of a Muslim man saying that Bangladesh will conquer West Bengal was created using AI.
