A video on Facebook claims that new lockdowns might be needed to deal with a dramatic rise in Covid-19 cases in the past week.
But official data shows only a small rise in cases, which remain at a very low level.

This video, viewed nearly 6 million times, is clearly AI-generated.
Apart from multiple errors and inconsistencies visible in the video, Google's SynthID tool indicates that it was created with Google AI.
😭😭😭 कसैले कल्पना नै गरेको थिएन यस्तो हुन्छ भनेर… प्रकृति बौलाएपछि आखिर कसको के नै लाग्दो रहेछ र! 🌊💔
यस्तो विपत्तिमा परेका सबैको सकुशल उद्धार होस्। 🙏😭

This is AI generated. The panning of the purported mobile phone is unnatural as well as the forces and movements. Buildings and trees suddenly appear in the second panning revealing the fake video.

There's no evidence that this is what they were used for, they also don't work, it's been tried.
It's also only found in only one street.

"Anything you also see in this video is fictional and absolutely never happened" Source: youtube.com/watch?v=q_dzmB5f…
This is absolutely incredible footage, and the reactions/talking in a way legitimizes this video a lot, aka it is spot on for how I would expect people to react to such incredible orb activity.

This video, purporting to show US Congresswoman Nancy Mace dancing erratically in a bar and contorting her face at the camera, is a doctored fake.
It is altered from a clip of a comedian.

A viral video compilation shows clips of masked figures on e-scooters and e-bikes being tackled by police officers.
But it’s completely fake.

The AI-generated Community Note on this post is wrong.
The video is a clip from the 2016 Egyptian TV series "Al Khorog" (The Exit).
It is not from the movie "The Cell," and it does not show a woman in a water tank on Epstein's island.
Source: @AFPfactMENA
One of the most horrifying scenes recorded on Jeffrey Epstein's island—something the far-left media once tried to dismiss as staged—was a Satanic ritual performed on women at the site. The truth must be exposed to the world, and those involved held accountable.
SHARE THIS SO THE WORLD KNOWS ABOUT THESE HORRIFIC ACTS.
Community note
This video is a scene from the 2000 psychological thriller film 'The Cell,' not footage from Jeffrey Epstein's island. The glass water-tank device is the film's signature murder set piece, identifiable by multiple film databases. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.…

This alleged video of Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei meeting President Masoud Pezeshkian is AI-generated and fake.
Khamenei has not been seen in public since becoming Iran's head of state in March.
First glimpse of His Eminence Sayyid Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, Shia of Ali, pride of Islam, and bringer of da ruckus to America.
Here he can be seen talking to the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
May God protect and preserve him. He looks to have recovered well after the US murdered 3 generations of his family including his father, his wife and his daughter. May bloody vengeance on the enemy leader be his, and may he continue his convalescence in happiness and with peace of heart.

These are wonderful news. A success rate at replicating 94 - 98% of our VASCO transient detections. Thank you @hoaxeye for putting a serious effort into this.
First data release: github.com/jannefi/poss1-pla… I'm measuring parity against R dataset, but the raw detection recall rate (~94% up to ~98%) applies to all VASCO datasets when data comes from full plate scans instead of download services

Meta and TikTok have followed Google and OpenAI in introducing AI detector tools that are designed to spot digital watermarks embedded in generative AI content created by Meta's and TikTok's AI models.
Both detectors currently allow users to check images and videos.
Some of the content generated by the latest AI models are frighteningly realisitc, to the point that it's becoming increasingly difficult to spot any obvious errors in them with naked eyes, even for those with eyes well-trained on AI content.
Going forward, digital watermarking and identification technology seems to be one of the only practical solutions to AI-generated misinformation.
It works by embedding watermarks in any content generated by an AI model at the time of creation, which will then allow a verification tool, preferably developed by the owner(s) of that same AI model, to detect those embedded watermarks.
