How can an AI video detector reveal fakes (75% AI-generated viral Twitter video)?

Gorilla shows up bodybuilder, AI shows up gorilla

So there's this video on X: a jacked guy deadlifts a heavy barbell in front of a gorilla enclosure. The gorilla watches, unimpressed. Then it casually picks up an identical barbell and presses it overhead like a walk in a park. The internet went wild, but many commenters questioned:is this video real or fake?

We uploaded this suspicious clip in our AI video detector. The result is pretty illustrative: 75% AI-generated. The detector spotted those things that human eyes usually miss. Sorry for the gorilla, but this flex-off is digital.

How AI built this gym meme

Here’s what our detector flagged in this heavyweight showdown:

• physics and, particularly, the gorilla’s lift are too smooth; even the greatest apes don’t move like Olympic weightlifters,
• the barbell lacks the visual heft and texture of real metal plates,
• the gorilla’s reaction and mimicry are suspiciously well-synced (they are smart, but not THIS smart),
• how did they get the barbell inside the enclosure?

But beyond the laughs, this video taps into something we love: animals one-upping humans. It’s the ultimate underdog story, but with a gorilla. The fact that it’s AI-made doesn’t make it less entertaining. It just makes it a great example of how AI video generation can craft near-perfect internet humor.

FAQ

Is this gorilla weightlifting video real?

Our AI video detector says it's 75% AI-generated. While gorillas are strong, they don't typically replicate human gym routines with perfect form. This is digital fiction for laughs.

How can you tell the video is AI-generated?

Look for the little things: the unnatural smoothness of the lift, the lack of strain in the gorilla's body, and the odd barbell location. Why was it inside? Why did the gorilla stand near it so calmly, almost ‘waiting’ for its turn? If you get to ask just too many questions, it means it’s time for our AI video checker! AI-generation confidence score, frame-by-frame analysis, comprehensive report with separate audio and video detection. Everything at isFake AI. It will do the heavy lifting for you.
