Why do you think this video was ~~fake~~ AI generated?
edit: To be clear, I'm not suggesting the story is accurate. I'm questioning why OP things this specific video is AI generated as opposed to a real video being taken out of context.
I'm not inclined to trust The Daily Wire, but I also can't exactly see anything that stands out like crazy that makes me think it's fake.
It definitely has a somewhat surreal feeling look to it, but I've been tracking various faces and objects in the background and they don't seem to move, change, or distort at all in a way that's unnatural.
Either AI video generation technology got insanely good (or they just had a very lucky break with happening to get a good quality output) and I'm simply not able to fully identify it, or the video is real but the context and quote is what's fake.
I think I might be going insane. Every rock, face and little detail remains the same, yet it feels weird af.
Can we no longer trust any media?
I think we rescued a point where AI videos have Uncanny Valley status, and because of that, any unusual thing, or less than great quality in a real video will make us doubt its authenticity. A person who is unaware of generative AI (but aware of CGI in general) will probably not think this is fake.
I'm inclined to think this is real. It bears no signs of the Hallmark tells of an AI video. Everything looks very solid and non-deforming.
