(Sydney, Australia) – A video went mega viral across multiple platforms this week depicting a small and calm kangaroo trying to board a plane. The clip, shared across social media, shows the marsupial holding a boarding pass in his hands with two women, one seemingly a flight attendant and the other a passenger, arguing. People wanted to know the name of the kangaroo and some were outraged that he was being held up from his flight. Well it turns out, the entire video is a fake.
Users were quick to point out some tell-tale signs like the writing on the boarding pass. Along with the fact that the two women arguing were not speaking any language, just gibberish which to any user sounds like it’s placed in a foreign area. The video originated on a page dedicated to creating AI-generated content and visual effects. This is just the latest in realistic dupes as generative AI models continue to advance.
