00:00So, did the White House fake a presidential speech with AI?

00:03That's certainly what the internet thought after President Trump's address about Charlie Kirk.

00:07But hold up. Right there.

00:09See that glitchy moment with Trump's finger?

00:11Social media exploded, claiming that this was proof that the video was AI-generated.

00:15Millions of views, hot takes, and conspiracy theories later, experts stepped in.

00:20Hani Farid, a professor at UC Berkeley and co-founder of Get Real Security, said,

00:24Nope, not AI.

00:26His team ran audio and video analysis and found no signs of deepfake tech.

00:30The voice matched the mouth movements, and there were no lip-sync fails or robotic vibes.

00:34Filmmaker Albert Bozen chimed in, claiming it was likely a morph-cut effect.

00:38Basically, video editors used this to stitch together takes.

00:41It's usually smooth, but if someone moves too much, boom, finger-swap glitch.

00:46They argue that even small distortions could be signs of manipulation,

00:50but experts say, don't confuse editing with AI fakery.

00:53And why does all of this matter?

00:54Well, Trump's speech wasn't just any speech.

00:56It blamed the radical left for Kirk's death and called for a crackdown on certain organizations.

01:00If people think it's fake, it undermines trust in real political messaging.

01:04Now, this whole debate shows how easy it is to lose trust when videos look strange or edited.

01:09As AI keeps getting better, how can we trust that things are real without jumping to wild conclusions?
