Is there any evidence to support this video? In a time of deep fakes and AI generated stuff, I can't trust much. Did a quick search and couldn't find any news sites discussing this.
Not sure what the original is. This substack has a large share count on it.
The actions of the guards on stage, especially pushing over the Trump mic stand seem to match the other footage.
The physics of the woman pulling the photographers at the end matches too. The only thing that looks off is the security guard at 0:10 doing a weird hop
This older video from opposite angle also has the photographers coming in around 0:20 https://files.catbox.moe/1mlyvx.mp4
So far as I know, AI can only make like 10-second videos. This is much longer a continuous shot. Plus if you just look at the way the wind is blowing the cloth behind the barrier, the shadows are all correct as it bangs against it. I'm no forensics person but that seems pretty realistic to me.
Well that's obviously not true lol
Short clips is a common technique for spotting AI generated videos. It's computationally expensive to do more than that. Not impossible, but uncommon.

I accept it might be expensive, but in this context where other states have an incentive to fuel conspiracy theories about an attempted assassination of the president of the most powerful country in the world...probably not a reason to discount the possibility that it's an AI generated video. I think it's safe to assume they have the budget.
(I'm not saying it is AI generated by the way, but the original comment was a bad argument for it bring genuine)
Unless it has been able to do longer and Im not up on my AI news.. I'm talking continuous shot.
