"(Photo Credit: @Partisan_12 on X) It's getting harder and harder to know what is real and what is fake, thanks to artificial intelligence. The latest to fall prey to a phony AI clip? Neera Tanden a former adviser to ex-President Joe Biden and an occasional guest on CNN. Tanden was faked out by an AI video depicting 15 ICE agents chasing a Viking down the street in Minnesota. Those AI agents could not catch the Viking, though, because he was rolling down the pavement in a bath tub equipped with four huge skateboard wheels."
"A fake newscaster narrated the clip like it was a live chase. We are live over downtown Minneapolis where, yes, that is a protester in a Viking costume riding what appears to be a porcelain bathtub on skate wheels 15 ice agents are on his heels, the AI newscaster yelped. But look at this, he's pulling away. Watch the slush! Watch the slush! Tanden was disgusted by the clip."
"The X note on the original video points out there are a few clear signs it was AI beyond the Viking in a bathtub part like the time being 4:06 PHM and the fake news station being called POVART, which isn't real. Jerry Dunleavy a reporter for the right-wing outlet JustTheNews was among those who spotted Tanden was duped by the bogus video. Neera Tanden believes that ICE agents chased a protester dressed in Viking gear and sitting in a bath tub with skateboard wheels down the street, and that the Air Force was called in in response, he posted on X."
A fabricated AI video showed 15 ICE agents chasing a protester in a Viking costume riding a porcelain bathtub on skateboard wheels through downtown Minneapolis. The clip included a fake newscaster narrating the scene as if it were live coverage and exaggerated details like the Air Force being called in. Neera Tanden reshared the video with a caption condemning government madness before deleting the post after others identified telltale AI artifacts. Observers pointed to anomalies such as an incorrect timestamp, a bogus news station name, and other visual cues that indicated the clip was fake.
