Real Footage Combined With AI Slop About DC Is Creating a Disinformation Mess on TikTok

In these videos, it’s only totally clear to me that the content is fake because I found the original sources. Lots of this footage is obviously fake if you’re familiar with the actual situation in DC or familiar with the geography and streets in DC. But most people are not.

TikTok is already one of the worst places for AI-generated misinformation. It started getting flooded almost immediately after Google Veo came out. It’s like a trial run for how bad the rest of the web is about to get. 😬
