Venezuela’s Min­is­ter of Com­mu­ni­ca­tion and In­for­ma­tion Fred­dy Nanez has dis­missed the video show­ing US mis­sile fire on a boat churn­ing across the sea in the south­ern Caribbean.

In a post yes­ter­day, Nanez stat­ed, “It seems that (US Sec­re­tary of State) Mar­co Ru­bio con­tin­ues to lie to his pres­i­dent: af­ter lead­ing him in­to a dead end, he now of­fers him a (thus proven) AI video as proof.’ What does Gem­i­ni say about this video? Based on the video pro­vid­ed, it was most like­ly cre­at­ed us­ing ar­ti­fi­cial in­tel­li­gence (AI).”

He added, “While I can­not con­firm with cer­tain­ty the ex­act tools used, sev­er­al el­e­ments sug­gest it was gen­er­at­ed by AI: The video shows a ship be­ing at­tacked and then ex­plod­ing in a way that looks like a sim­pli­fied, al­most car­toon­ish an­i­ma­tion, rather than a re­al­is­tic de­pic­tion of an ex­plo­sion.
