00:00What are the Fake Videos of Farmers on Social Media?
00:08European farmers have ramped up their protests
00:11against the Mercosur Free Trade Agreement with South America in recent months,
00:15triggering a surge of misleading and fake videos.
00:19Many of the video's captions say that they are AI-generated.
00:22Others have the Sora Watermark, which is OpenAI's Image and Video Generator.
00:27But when they are reposted by other accounts, these disclaimers risk getting lost.
00:32But if you look closely, there are also AI indicators.
00:35For example, here, the letters E and their fonts on police shields are inconsistent.
00:41A string of other videos have specifically imitated French farmers,
00:44who, as well as being opposed to the Mercosur deal,
00:47have been angry at the implementation of culling measures
00:49aimed at curbing the spread of lumpy skin disease among cows.
00:57This video shows a farmer upset at the culling of hundreds of cows
01:05in the French Department of Ariège,
01:07a real event which took place in December.
01:09Police had to intervene after farmers attempted to block access
01:12to a farm to prevent culling.
01:15So although the testimony and video could seem plausible,
01:18it's in fact AI, which you can see here
01:20when the cow's backside transforms into its head.
01:23In this instance, the farmer can be seen crying tears of blood
01:33which do not roll down his face.
01:35The motivation for generating this kind of fake content
01:38is to attract clicks,
01:40which can be monetized if the clips go viral.
01:43That's all.
01:49We're all looking for Hahaha
