A CCD is the type of focal plane array used *inside* a camera instead of photographic film. “Classic CCD look” is meaningless.
Compact mini camera with flip screen and built-in flash. Features a classic CCD-style look, portable design, and can be used as a bag charm for everyday photos and events.

This viral video claiming a $140m corruption case in the Ukrainian military is false and likely a new creation of the long-running Russian disinformation operation known as Storm-1516.
Although the fake video has the logo of a genuine Ukrainian news website called the New Voice of Ukraine, it is in fact a fabricated report that was never produced by the Ukrainian outlet.
To make this fake story even more believable, the operation has also created a fake web page made to look like the real website of the New Voice Ukraine, featuring the fabricated report (first screenshot).
On its genuine website, the New Voice of Ukraine has clarified that it never produced this $140m corruption report, and that the web page carrying its logo is entirely fake (second screenshot).

Why do companies use such obvious AI videos to advertise their products?
A wreath isn't the only way to decorate your door for the season. This vertical pumpkin design adds height, layered details, and a warm glow without taking up much space. Place it by your entrance and create a cozy fall welcome.

If the advertiser is “showing” the product through the use of AI video then you haven’t seen the real product.
Purple, green, yellow, and orange lights cascade beneath the cauldron for a magical potion-like effect.
Leave enough open space underneath so the colorful light stream can become part of the display.

More AI slop. If a company is “showing off” its products with an AI video, perhaps you should give it a wide berth.

The use of AI in twitter adverts is embarrassing. It looks “good” until you think of which way up the mould is. 🤣
Bring the family into holiday baking with a simple press-and-share project. Roll the dough, press the mold, fill when needed, and bake according to your recipe. Add a Nativity set to your kitchen today.

It has been 6 days and @lembitopik still hasn’t deleted his tweet that posted the fake story from a website masquerading as The Express. It has now been seen by over 2M people.
Here is a tweet by The Express pointing out the website is fake.
A cloned website is currently circulating a fraudulent story designed to look like a legitimate Express article. This piece was NOT written or published by us. We are taking immediate steps to have the cloned site removed.

Pretty sure the video is AI generated. You can see the parallax as the camera moves over the carpet.

Someone has gone to a fair bit of effort to spread disinformation. This isn’t your usual photoshopped screenshot with a fake story.
This is not misinformation.
That's what I normally cover - something out of context, an opinion quoted as fact, or a deliberate misinterpretation...
This is none of those.
This is full-on disinformation.
Because that is NOT from the Express. It is entirely fake😱
