We began our investigation by taking screenshots from viral videos and performing a reverse image search. This brought me to another version of the viral video on the YouTube channel, where I noticed the Google Gemini logo.
This suggests that the video may have been generated by AI.
According to Google Gemini, “This video was generated or edited using Google AI.
The tool detected a watermark between 0:00 and 0:10 of the video visual. This type of imperceptible watermark is specifically designed to identify content that has been generated or modified by AI without changing what you see or hear. ”
Using several AI detection tools, it suggested that the video was generated by AI.
conclusion
Our research shows that that claim is false. The viral video of bees swarming a motorcycle was generated by AI.
