Looking closer, I noticed some contradictions in the viral video. For example, the upper half of the man's body looked like he was lying on his back. However, the lower half seemed to lie in front of him.
Similarly, the man was initially seen sleeping in a building that was underconstructed. However, the moment he sees the lion and starts running, the building turns into a large ground. These visual glitches suggest that the video was created using a generator AI tool.
I then took a screenshot from the video and ran it using the AI detection tool “IT AI”. The tool analyzed it and said it was created using AI.
The video also featured a watermark from “@ataquesferoz.” I found a Tiktok account with this name. AI Generation. The account also shares videos generated to several other AI.
In particular, similar videos went viral in June. The video is said to have shown a lion in Gujarat walking around a man sleeping in a quiet street at night, sniffing him, and, surprisingly, leaving without harm. At the time, India today I exposed that Generated by AI.
Therefore, it is clear that an AI-generated video of a lion wandering through a underconstructed building was shared as a real incident from Gujarat.
