Found this in my home! Oh, really?

A video on X showing a bizarre, never-before-seen insect caused quite a stir. The creature looks like a hybrid straight out of a lab… or an AI's imagination. With a scorpion's stinger, wasp wings, mantis-like head, and eight legs, viewers were quick to ask: is this video AI generated or did someone discover a real-life Franken-bug?

We dropped the clip into our AI video detector to settle the debate. The verdict? A strong 81% likelihood that the insect is an AI creation. What the user might not be able to notice will never go past our image checker!
