00:00Did teenagers really wreak havoc in France's National Assembly?
00:07A mob of left-wing teenagers wreaking havoc inside France's National Assembly?
00:12That is, if you believe, videos like these which have emerged on social media.
00:17In the clips, a group of black teenagers wearing tracksuits can be seen running around the National Assembly and walking all over its benches.
00:24One social media user sharing the clip is a harsh critic of the French left and promotes content which favours the far-right National Rally Party.
00:32The clip he shared displays text claiming that the teenagers in the video are part of the far-left France Unbowed Party,
00:39accusing them of behaving as if they were in their own living room.
00:43In the comments, the user who did not respond to Euronews' request for comment stated that only the left would claim this video could be AI-generated.
00:51However, should such an incident have occurred, there would have been major news headlines about it, which there were not.
00:57Although school visits are permitted inside the National Assembly,
01:01the institution's website stipulates that an appropriate outfit is required and failing that visitors can be turned away.
01:08This is therefore a first indicator that this video is fake.
01:12Now, by conducting a reverse image search, Euronews found a number of similar clips with the tag AI and AI Humor in the caption.
01:19While the clips could be seen as humorous, they've also been used to spread messages with racist undertones,
01:26associating young black men with bad behaviour.
01:29The Cube was able to identify the original clip, which was posted by an account called HumorIA.
01:35IA is the French acronym for Artificial Intelligence.
01:38The clips bear the Sora watermark on them.
01:41Sora 2 is a new technology created by OpenAI, the same company that founded ChatGPT.
01:47It enables users to generate 10-second-long, realistic-looking videos from text prompts.
