I feel like AI generated videos of very active things like protests would be easy to debunk. Just look at the people in the background and point out the people disappearing after moving behind another person, or look for changing faces.

    You haven't seen a lot of Sora 2 videos. Identifiable traits require a pretty careful eye in many videos to spot.

    You absolutely can't even rely on the watermark, since removing that watermark is trivial to the nation-states running disinfo campaigns, and even for end users removal is trivial compared to creating typical public AI video models.

    Even that little blur effect people use to get rid of watermarks, sure it's sora but it could as easily just be a tiktok username, which people remove all the time. So the people who want to believe it, will.

    In the article they mention videos with literal AI watermarks being passed around as if they were real. The targets want to believe they are true and will ignore anyone debunking them.
