Since the clashes began and, it seems that the conflict has not remained on the battlefield, but also expanded to the internet. A large volume of misinformation diffuses in the media and social media, on both sides. Audiovisual material from older wars appears as new, while they are artificial intelligence products (AI) and is presented as true, according to a report, which has identified many of them.

Video in Tiktok present “”. However, as DW’s Fact checking shows, with the reverse search, it is highlighting bombings from the Iraq war. More specifically, this material showed US blows in Baghdad in 2003.

However, similar images appear on other platforms. Various internet users tried to confirm the reliability of the video through X. Users searched the truth through the former Twitter chatbot. More specifically, they asked the Grok to date the audiovisual material, but this showed that he could not answer with certainty what the war was coming from the document.
The true picture of ai
At the same time, there are many examples from AI videos. For example, there are pictures of “”. But while watching the videos better see the buildings in the buildings in opposite directions or very close, while the sun is far away. With a closer look, cars seem to merge.

Many times such documents can be collected and reproduced by large news media. This video was also published by the informative media “Tehran Times”.
How can one understand if a video is fake?
Specialists say that when a video is the result of AI, it does not exceed 10 seconds, when it has a sequence. When the shots alternate again each shot does not exceed ten seconds, again, it is very likely to be the product of the use of artificial intelligence.
However, it is becoming more and more difficult to judge with the naked eye if a video is created by artificial intelligence. The tools have become better and better in creating realistic documents.
In case of doubt, the highest resolution of the video can show if it is true. Those who wish to misinform the public tend to use a scale reduction. In this way, they manage to hide what seems “wrong”, or it can “betray” the processing. Visual inconsistencies are much more difficult to detect in a granular video.
Poor video quality can also indicate that a clip has been taken and downloaded many times. This usually results in lower video quality. In this case, the original video published has a better resolution than other versions.
In terms of images of previous conflicts, only through reverse search can the truth prove.
