Valentine’s Day is almost here — and your feed is about to be flooded with romantic videos.
Bouquets. Heart-shaped chocolates. Slow-motion kisses. Surprise proposals.
But this year, not all of them are real. For the latest edition of Real vs. AI, we’re putting your instincts to the test with three real Valentine’s Day videos and three AI-generated ones — and some of them are nearly impossible to tell apart.
As generative video tools get better, spotting AI-created content is becoming harder than ever. That’s exactly why we keep running these tests: to sharpen your eye and help you recognize the subtle signs of synthetic footage.
Think you can tell what’s real and what’s fake?
Scroll down, watch the clips and take the quiz to see if love is in the air — or if it's just pixels.
