Fact-Check: AI-Generated Image and Video Falsely Linked to RSS March and Israeli Hanuman Chalisa
Two viral social media claims involving AI-generated content were debunked by fact-checkers. One falsely showed an RSS march in Kerala's Kannur using an AI-generated image, while the other featured an AI-generated video purportedly showing Israelis singing the Hanuman Chalisa in Tel Aviv. Both claims lacked credible sources and were identified as AI fabrications through multiple detection tools and expert analysis, highlighting the spread of manipulated digital media online.
