"Severe monsoon rains have caused devastating floods in parts of Pakistan and India, displacing thousands of people. But not every video claiming to show the destruction is real. Much of the content is either unrelated or AI-generated. Common scenes with AI content include destroyed markets, trains stranded in water, and helicopter rescues. Claim: A user on Instagram posted a video of a train stuck in the floods suggesting it showed the current flooding in Patna, India. DW Fact check: Fake."
"The account's description says it's an "AI Video creator" and the channel points out that that the video in question "is completely Al generated (...) Please don't take it as real footage." Even without that information, it's easy to spot the typical errors made by Artificial Intelligence. The hands of the AI-generated figures partially melt into each other in an unnatural way. The persons' hair also does not look real."
Severe monsoon rains have caused devastating floods in parts of Pakistan and India, displacing thousands of people. A surge of online misinformation includes AI-generated clips and old videos being shared as current flood footage. Common fabricated scenes show destroyed markets, trains stranded in water, and helicopter rescues. One Instagram video claiming a train stuck in Patna was traced to an account identifying itself as an "AI Video creator" and was flagged as fake after reverse image search. Visual indicators of AI fabrication include melting hands, unreal hair, and writing on the train that does not match Indian scripts. No news reports corroborate the claimed Patna incident.
