( Expert analysis showed the video probably mixed real and AI-made content.) Smith responded to the accusation by posting a new Instagram video showing that his audience was made of AI-generated cats."

High-profile examples include a viral video of garbage bags near the White House that prompted conflicting claims about authenticity, and a promotional video for Will Smith's tour that probably mixed real and AI-made content.

Such denials exploit uncertainty produced by synthetic media, reduce confidence in visual evidence, and make verification and accountability more difficult.
