ALBAWABA - A new video recently showcased an individual who looks like UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer kissing another man through a CCTV camera. The footage in question sparked widespread debate and speculations on social media about its authenticity.
While many speculated about the viral video shared across social media, several others pointed out that it's either AI-generated or fake. The clip was first shared on TikTok by a user named "Head full of dreams," alongside a sentence that read, "The CCTV footage has finally dropped."
Is Keir Starmer gay? New video sparks speculations
A social media user on Musk's X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "If you think this AI-generated video is real, you might need some help, the internet might not be a safe place for you if you’re prone to believing everything you see online."
Another jokingly added, "Good try, l had to double take i thought it was my husband with my the local take away manager though."
The video, which was also shared on X, claims that the other individual whom Keir Starmer was kissing is a UK member of the House of Lords named Waheed Alli, Baron Alli (aka Lord Alli), without citing official sources from renowned media outlets, making the claims in question baseless.
Several others claimed that the video isn't AI-generated but fake, stressing that the individuals showcased in the video aren't Starmer and Lord Alli.
This solidifies concerns about the effects of AI-generated content on the untrained eye. AI-generated content is only improving with time, and it's becoming more difficult to notice a difference between it and reality each day.
Platforms such as Meta's Facebook have witnessed a high surge in AI content. A recent study revealed that individuals ranging from 25 to 34 make up the platform's highest number of users. However, Facebook also witnessed a rise in older users, who, according to several social media posts, many of whom believe AI-generated content is a fact.
