Verdict: False<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Text
A video shared by a YouTube channel named \u201cGambia Kibaaro Network\u201d<\/a> titled \u201cDonald Trump called Adama Barrow the most usele$$ President in Africa\u201d has amassed more than five thousand views, seventy plus comments and counting as per the publication of the fact check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our researchers utilising digital tools make a quick Google search with the same title showing three results and one of the results stood out with a post made 9 months back which was on March 28, of 2024 on TikTok by an account named \u201cangry defiant\u201d<\/a> with the title \u201cAccording to Donald Trump Adama Barrow is the most USELESS president in Africa\u201d the original source of the video.

In order to verify the authenticity of the audio, we utilised Elevenlabs<\/a> a platform to create and detect ai-generated audio – after uploading the audio the result was a 98% probability that the audio was generated. To take it a step further we dissected the original video in key-frames, in which we ran a reverse image search of the image of Donald Trump, the results, we got were similar images of Trump in the same pose with a watermark attached to every image on the top right corner written has \u201cmade with TryParrotAI.com<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the original video of the claim, we can see that on the same exact position of the results, we found on google image reverse search with a sticker written on it \u201cTRUMP ON BARROW\u201d is hiding the watermark \u201cmade with TryParrotAI.com<\/a>\u201d which is covering some facial part of Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We dug deeper by making a search on Google for \u201ctryparrotai.com<\/a>\u201d to learn more about the platform and the results is that the platform is developed to generate top celebrity voices to create fun audio clips to roast friends, and family, send birthday messages, and light up group chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, the video shared by Gambia Kibarro Network is false and misleading. The video has been created using an Ai video and audio generation platform called tryparrotai.com. We urge the general public to be cautious of such content that is widely shared on Tiktok and other mainstream platforms like Facebook and YouTube, such Ai-generated content can lead to harm and distort trust in public officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
