“No more Marco Rubio encouraging the war and trying to stain the hands of President Donald Trump with blood,” added ñáñez on Instagram and X.
However, the Venezuelan employee used Gemini, Google AI to try to check his statements, something that is contraindicated in checking information. “Gemini can provide inaccurate or inadequate information, even about people, so check the answers,” says Google in your guidelines on your AI.
Posting of ñáñez no X appears with a context note of readers, which says that “there is no evidence of AI in the video” of the attack on the Caribbean.
In response, The Venezuelan Organization for Digital Facts Verification “Fake News Cazetors”, which is part of the International Fact Verification Network (IFCN), said that “Gemini is not the most appropriate tool for this type of verification. ”
The response from the United States
In response to these accusations of Caracas, US Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth said in an interview with Fox that the video “was not created with artificial intelligence.” “I saw it live. We knew who was on the boat and what they represented; that was the Aragua train,” the authority said.
“We are closing the border. President Trump is willing to take offensive measures like no one did. To send a clear message to the Aragua train and others: we will not allow this activity,” he said.
He added, “They are poisoning our people. We have amazing resources in the region. They will try to traffic drugs. It’s a new day. Those 11 are no longer with us. The United States won’t tolerate it in our hemisphere.”
