How an AI Deepfake Fooled the Pros

Including My Own Network”

An AI-generated video recently fooled millions of viewers and even made it on air. As someone who works for Newsmax as an intelligence analyst and security contributor, I wanted to break down how this happened, what the red flags were, and how you can spot similar deepfakes before they spread.

In this video, I’ll walk through the telltale signs of AI generation, from missing logos to impossible tex, and explain how tools like Sora, GANs, and diffusion models can create convincing but fake footage.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding how quickly artificial intelligence is evolving and why even trained professionals can get fooled.

Watch to the end for practical tips on how to verify videos before sharing them.
