The big idea
AI can now make videos that look totally real. If something online looks amazing, dramatic, or unbelievable, it's smart to pause and wonder: did a real camera record this, or did an AI make it?
Some examples
- A celebrity saying something wild — could be AI
- A 'crazy animal' video with weird movements
- Photos of impossible food or buildings
- News clips with no source listed
Try it!
Find one video online that feels 'too good.' Ask a grown-up to help you check if it's real or AI-made.
