It was created with a video of a student stating, in an interview in front of a school, that, by 2026, he wants the arrests of “Nove Dedos” and “Xandão”, references to the president () and the minister of the (Federal Supreme Court), respectively.
The video shows typical signs of AI generation. The image shows several distortions, such as people in the background sliding when entering the supposed school and letters that move on the school’s facade. At one point, the hand of the young man interviewed appears in the video with six distorted fingers.
Even concluding that it was content created by AI, the report consulted programmer Pedro Burgos, who confirmed the tampering. “The characters speak quickly to fit the entire script, and the lip is slightly out of sync. The audio has a synthetic, low-quality signature, with no background or wind sounds,” he said.
After the supposed interview, the image cuts to a presenter who appears surprised and then asks to cut the commercials.
The expert points out that, when the video shows the presenter, the subtitle text appears repeated, which reinforces the thesis that it is a non-existent news program.
