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.
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)
