Why do you think this video was ~~fake~~ AI generated?

edit: To be clear, I'm not suggesting the story is accurate. I'm questioning why OP things this specific video is AI generated as opposed to a real video being taken out of context.

I zoomed in on one frame - it's a kind mess of abstract lines and smears, but it also could be AI enhancement with a modern phone, imo. I'd like additional supporting evidence as well.

I don't know anything about how cameras are "enhancing" pictures/videos but in your still I would wonder 1: how is this wire supposedly connected to these randomly placed fence posts, and 2 what is happening here, arms and faces all through the wiring?

Any wire I've ever used would bend and easily be pulled down by a person trying to climb over it, it can't be electric, because people are all touching it

it's a grid, like the fence in front of it. camera sensors are also grids. if they line up just the right way you can get a moiré pattern that hides details.

people are pushing on the fence, breaking it.

The same reporter, in her post before it, same fence supposedily. The gate appears to be for that fence, which sounds as if to be for crowd management. No signs of Hamas being present at said gate/fence or else the troops present would either be giving or taking fire. The stories don't line up either

Either that or the fence is a standing structure in the cement and had nothing to do with the aid delivery, which means they would be manipulating a narrative completely.

Kassy Akiva @KassyAkiva 12h There were a few hiccups today, including the contractors distributing aid needing to fall back to relieve pressure at a gate. But once they didc, order was immediately restored, according to my source.

oh the story is 100% wrong. the video doesn't match it. doesn't mean the video is not real.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Here, this helps your theory that it's a real fence. Best I could find

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Throwing in for good measure, where they are being let through the gate, not having to break it down:

The video is on her own history

Found another supposed camera view

So the fences all appear to be set up by the distribution network by the looks of that

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

I completely suck at telling AI stuff, but Hamas soldiers can't take three steps outside without being bombed and these morons want us to think they had the time or resources to set up something like that? The claim is fake either way.

Tbh, it doesn't matter, the video doesn't show anything. Its just some random guy and people cheering. It could have been shot in Croatia for all we know.
