Summary:
Videos claiming to show the aftermath of a 6.9-magnitude earthquake in the Philippines are circulating online, but they have been confirmed as false and AI-generated through visual analysis and an AI detector tool. The earthquake struck late on September 30, leading to widespread damage and at least 69 fatalities. While some videos accurately depicted the disaster, others significantly misrepresented the situation, potentially spreading disinformation at a vulnerable time.
Notably, an AI-generated video claimed to show extensive destruction in Cebu but exaggerated the damage. Another video falsely suggested a tsunami hit Singapore, which has no seismic activity related to the earthquake. These misleading visuals can contribute to panic and misinformation. Users are advised to seek reputable sources to verify content during such crises.
