The material has received over 18 thousand views and about 230 likes. There are 136 comments. If you look at some of them, there are users who, with comments in Albanian, seem to have taken the content for granted.
Hibrid.info has analyzed the images with applications that identify content generated with artificial intelligence. Based on the results provided by the “Hive Moderation” application, it appears that the three images were produced with artificial intelligence, while the isitai.com platform emphasizes for the first image that “this image was most likely created with artificial intelligence”.
It's not the first time this TikTok account has used artificial intelligence for similar posts.
I'll link to another case, which has received over 96 thousand clicks, nearly 270 comments and around 970 likes:
