~~I can't see this "news" reported anywhere else and The Sun is notorious for making stuff up. Gonna file this in the ignore bin.~~

edit 2: Mea culpa, I don't visit rags like The Sun but if I had read this article I'd have seen that they do cite their (credible) source.

Edit: I'm surprised MBFC even gives it as much as "mixed", but it does mention this:

The Sun is a daily tabloid newspaper published in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In surveys, The Sun is considered the Least Trusted UK news outlet.

I can’t see this “news” reported anywhere else

Clearly not trying very hard:

and The Sun is notorious for making stuff up

And this article cites — with direct link — a BBC reporter’s X post. Well, who is actually “making stuff up” here…

Yet, BBC Verify journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh stated that an AI-generated audio was dubbed over a mismatch of two recent Ukrainian TV interviews.

Exposing the sham, he wrote on X: "The deepfake video has in fact been created as a composite of two recent interviews published in the last few days with Danilov and Ukraine's military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.
