The video (here, here, here, here) is now viral on social media showing an elephant and baby elephant walking down the street. There, a baby elephant picks up abandoned tin and drops it in a waste bin. The video is shared as a real incident. Find the truth behind it.
Claim: In the viral video, a baby elephant picks up tin from the road and drops it into a dust bin, showing real-life environmental awareness.
fact: Video is generated by AI. Visual inconsistencies such as distorted text, unnatural object movements, and transparent human figures indicate manipulation. The AI detection tool also detected a 99.4% chance that AI generates or contains deep-fark elements in the video. Therefore, the argument is error.
A close look at the video will reveal some contradictions. This is a sign of AI generation or deepfark content (here and here). For example, when a baby elephant discovers a tin, it initially looks normal, but when the elephant picks it up, the tin shape changes unnaturally. At one point, the tin does not appear to be held by the trunk, but rather seems to be stuck with it. In another scene, the trash can says “with me,” but after the tin is dropped inside, the text strangely turns to “nbe me.” Furthermore, people in the background look unnatural in walking styles, with one person appearing to have a transparent body. All these factors suggest that the video is generated by AI.
To further check if the video was generated by AI, I ran it using Hive's detection tool. This showed a 99.4% chance of AI-generated or deepfake content. Although we were unable to track the origin of the video, the available evidence strongly suggests that it is being generated in AI.
In summary, a video of a baby elephant dropping a tin into a dust bin is generated by AI.
