Boys putting colour on a 'cheetah' during Holi?

You must have heard of AI if you're even a little active on social media these days. Every day, AI-made videos go viral on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and X. Some of them look so real, it's hard to tell them apart at first glance. One such video is being shared like crazy, claiming that some youths in Bihar are openly putting colour on a cheetah during Holi. But when we investigated this video, the story turned out to be something else entirely.

What does the viral video show?

The video shows a few boys playing Holi. A cheetah stands right in front of them, and they are applying colour to it. The surprising part is that the cheetah seems totally calm. It neither attacks nor tries to run away. Just think, if a wild animal suddenly appeared in front of someone, would they so casually go near it and apply colour? This is what makes the video suspicious.

What did the investigation find?

What did the investigation find?

The X account @MeenaRamesh91 shared this video. The post's caption clearly says the video is AI-generated and fake. Some users also asked the AI chatbot Grok about it. In its reply, Grok also called it AI-made content. You'll spot several clues if you look at the video closely: The cheetah's body movements look unnatural. The distance and shadows between the boys and the animal don't match up. You can also see some slight blurring and texture glitches in the background. All these signs show that the video is not a real event but was created using digital technology.

अब ये चीता का वीडियो वायरल हो रहा है..!

जो बिहार का बताया जा रहा है जिसमें लोग चीता के साथ में होली खेल रहे हैं...!

आपको मैं बताता हूँ कैसे यह वीडियो सच नहीं है..!

सबसे पहली बात बिहार में न चीते, पाए जाते हैं, न वहां इस समय चीते मौजूद है..!

भारत में इस समय सबसे अधिक 45 चीते,… pic.twitter.com/CPd2Wftf4M

Why can such AI videos be dangerous?

Why can such AI videos be dangerous?

AI technology isn't bad on its own. It's super useful in films, education, and creative fields. But when people use the same tech to spread fake news, it can create a lot of confusion. Videos like this can create a wrong image of a state or community, send a wrong message about serious issues like wildlife protection, and make people believe fake videos without checking. This is why experts repeatedly advise everyone to check the truth of any viral video before trusting it.

How to identify an AI-made video?

If you are also active on social media, pay attention to these things: 

1. Do the animal's or person's movements look unnatural? 

2. Do the light and shadows match correctly? 

3. Is there any weird glitch or lack of detail in the video? 

4. Did the account that posted it call it AI or fake? These small clues can help you figure out if a video is real or digitally created. 

The viral video of youths in Bihar playing Holi with a cheetah is not real. It's an AI-made video that some people are sharing without checking. In this age of social media, the most important thing is to stay aware. Not everything that goes viral is true.
