A video has been published showing images of a fire spreading across an area, with the caption claiming to be a reference to the fires that have engulfed Los Angeles in the United States of America (USA).
content was published yesterday (January 10) on Facebook by a page called "Namazi".
What is the truth?
Hibrid.info has found that Los Angeles is engulfed by a large spread of wildfires, but the images shown in the video are generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
As of the time of writing, the video has received over 360 thousand views and has been commented on over 750 times.
Hibrid.info has checked through "HiveModeration.com", a platform for detecting AI-generated content, based on whose assessment, it can be concluded that the image being treated is AI-generated content.
Analyze:
The claim about the fires breaking out in Los Angeles is accurate.
But, in the content discussed, images of the spread of the fire in Los Angeles are presented using Artificial Intelligence (AI) generation.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "Fraud".
