Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's efforts to quell his death rumors amid the ongoing Iran-US war don't seem to be entirely successful. He posted a fresh clip with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, but X's chatbot Grok flagged the viral clip as 'AI-generated', claiming it was only posted to mock the 'proof of life' video posted by the Israeli PM earlier.
Netanyahu, who has been at the centre of rumors about his death amid a war with Iran, is seen saying, “Yes Mike. Yes. I'm alive. We shake hands with five fingers in each hand, you know. I'm alive but I have this card. No, don't read it. So it's a punch card,” he said.
The two were also seen discussing "lunatics who would like to develop nuclear weapons" and "wiping them out". "Today I erased two names on the punch card, and you see how many more to go on this batch. We are getting rid of these lunatics who would like to develop nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them to every American city after wiping out Israel. They ain't gonna do that. We're wiping them out".
Grok has now flagged the video as AI-generated, but US Ambassador Mike Huckabee pushed back on Grok's claim, commenting, “Sorry Grok. You blew it. It was very much a real meeting held today. I should know. I was there. No AI on this at all!”
