Giant Anaconda Crawls Through the Amazon: Real or Fake? : A bird’s-eye view photo of a giant anaconda crawling through the Amazon has gone viral on the internet. People were shocked after seeing such a massive snake for the first time, and many began searching to find out whether the image was real or AI-generated.
Let’s fact-check this:
The viral video of the anaconda crawling through the Amazon River is, in fact, AI-generated. It was originally shared on the platform X (formerly Twitter) and quickly spread across the internet. The video appears to be recorded from a helicopter, and due to its high resolution, it looks incredibly realistic at first glance.
However, it has been confirmed that the video is not real. It is an example of a deepfake — an AI-generated or digitally altered video that mimics real-life visuals. Such videos, especially those involving nature or animals, can be highly deceptive because they look so natural that viewers often assume they are authentic.
Always verify the source before sharing such content, as AI-generated media can easily spread misinformation.
