Have you watched the viral video alleged to reveal Avengers: Doomsday set leaks? Surpassing 7 million views, it showcased Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom along with unexpected cameos. Nonetheless, it’s a fake created by AI, deceiving many with its lifelike appearance yet featuring subtle anomalies that expose the reality.
The video promised major reveals—Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and surprise cameos from Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, and Deadpool—exciting news for any Marvel fan. However, the entire video was fabricated using AI technology. Despite its realism, subtle details exposed it as a fake, highlighting how AI can create convincing but false content.
This viral video was made using AI technology. What is truly remarkable is the level of advancement AI has achieved. At first sight, it convincingly resembles actual footage.
Ultimately, the online community recognized the video as AI-generated, but only after it had gained over 5 million views. On platforms like Facebook, such content can easily mislead up to 95% of users into believing it is authentic, demonstrating how convincing and widespread AI-made fakes have become.
A key clue was the “functional” Iron Man suit shown in the Avengers: Doomsday video. Fans know Iron Man’s suit is mainly created with CGI, with Robert Downey Jr. wearing a motion-capture suit during filming. Seeing a physical suit in the video raised serious doubts about its authenticity
This event demonstrates how AI is transforming the dissemination of misinformation across the internet. It encourages fans to be more discerning and careful when engaging with digital content.
