a video A video circulating online shows an army officer addressing a PTI procession. It contains the following Urdu text: نہیں کہی گا کہ نکلو عوام کب نکلے گا ؟”
[Translation: The decision on Imran Khan’s release is in the hands of the people. Imran Khan will never say for himself when he will be released; the people will decide when he comes out.]
A police officer says in the video: [transcript produced in Roman Urdu]:

Fact or fiction?
The video seemed suspicious because military soldiers and military officers are not usually seen addressing political processions. I did a keyword search to see if such a matrix had been done, but got no results.
Most importantly, some audio-visual discrepancies suggest that the video may have been generated by AI. For example, in a real procession, the speaker faces the crowd, while the crowd is positioned behind the speaker. The people in the background appear stationary, but the flag moves.

Visual discrepancies within clips
The officer's facial expressions remain unnaturally consistent throughout the speech. Syncing human words Facial movement is a big challenge for AI. When a person speaks, their cheeks rise, their jaw moves, their jaw tightens, and their eyes convey subtle signals. AI is often unable to reproduce these microexpressions, resulting in a mismatch between voice and facial movements. Additionally, his eye movements look unnatural at certain points.
The uniform he wears does not match the official attire of the Pakistan Army. The left pocket has no legible writing, but the right pocket has “MAJ.ISPR” and “DG” written at the bottom.
Visual discrepancies within clips
This format is imprecise when compared to an actual officer's uniform, which typically has multiple badges and flags that are not present on the speaker's uniform.
These visual discrepancies specifically indicate that an AI text-to-video conversion model is being used. struggle Accurately represent text and logos.
virality
The video gained a lot of attention on Facebook, receiving over 18,000 likes and over 3,000 shares. shared here (archive).
conclusion: The viral video of an army officer addressing a PTI march is likely to have been generated by AI.
