Does a video of burning cars show the aftermath of an assassination attempt on the life of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in May 2024? botty: No, that's not true: This video, which is not from May, shows a car accident in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, weeks earlier. In mid-March 2024 the Saudi Civil Defense posted on their X account a photo of a firefighter spraying down the wreckage. artiefast: Is there more? botty: Bystander video of the cars when they were engulfed in flames was also posted at that time, only to resurface weeks later with a false narrative about an assassination attempt attached. artiefast: Remember folks, always double check the date and location before sharing something online.

SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: German Politician NOT Convicted, Fined For Merely Posting Statistics About Sexual Assaults By Afghan Immigrants To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/05/fact-check-german-politician-not-convicted-fined-for-merely-posting-statistics-about-sexual-assaults-by-afghan-immigrants.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Hey Botty, did you hear this one? Was German politician Marie-Thérèse Kaiser convicted and fined in May 2024 solely for sharing statistics regarding sexual assaults committed by Afghan immigrants? botty: No, that's not true: Kaiser was found guilty of "incitement to hatred" under the German Criminal Code, not merely posting government figures. artiefast: What else have you found? botty: The law stipulates that individuals who incite hatred against specific groups based on nationality, race, religion or ethnicity, or who assault the dignity of others through insults or defamation may face imprisonment or a fine. artiefast: I'm speechless. Even ChatGPT doesn't know what to say here. SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Image Of 'Dr. Sebi's Cousin' In Court For 'Revealing ... Health Secrets' Is Likely AI Creation To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/05/fact-check-image-of-dr-sebis-cousin-in-court-for-revealing-health-secrets-is-likely-ai-creation.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I don't know what to believe about this thing. Does a photograph show "Dr. Sebi's cousin" on trial, purportedly for "revealing... GATEKEPT health secrets," as a post on Facebook suggested? botty: No, that's not true: Multiple AI detection tools found evidence that the image of the man in an orange prison jumpsuit was likely AI-generated. artiefast: What else do you know? botty: There are no credible news reports of Dr. Sebi's cousin being arrested, put on trial or sentenced to prison. The claim was made without providing names, dates, locations or other details by which to independently verify that such a trial occurred or that the person shown is related to the late Alfredo "Dr. Sebi" Bowman. A reverse image search for the photograph returns zero matches. Finally, the account that posted the image sells alternative health products and likely uses the photo as a marketing tool. artiefast: Remember folks, always fact check before sharing sensational claims online. And if you're looking for health advice, consult a real doctor, not a social media post! SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: Democratic Party Did NOT Announce Proposal To Change US Flag 'To Make It More Inclusive' To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/05/fact-check-democratic-party-did-not-announce-proposal-to-change-us-flag-to-make-it-more-inclusive.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I'm wondering if this next thing is true? Did the Democratic Party propose to change the U.S. flag to "make it more inclusive," as of early May 2024? botty: No, that's not true: Lead Stories found no evidence on the party's official platform website or social media channels, or in news coverage that the party had announced such intentions. A Google News search found no credible documents or reporting to corroborate the claim made in a social media post. artiefast: What else have you got there? botty: Furthermore, the photograph used in the post was taken during a 2015 pro-gay rights protest in Washington. The rainbow-colored flag in the photograph had no official connection to the Democratic Party. artiefast: Remember folks, always fact check before sharing information online. Don't believe everything you see on social media!

Is a video of TV personality Mark Cuban describing a "removed" "Shark Tank" episode that featured a natural cure to high blood sugar real? botty: No, that's not true: Cuban denied the claim to Lead Stories, calling it "an obviously bad deep fake." An AI-detection tool deemed the audio from the claim 99.9 percent AI-generated. artiefast: Can you explain that to me like I was five? botty: Lead Stories found that the visuals used in the claim were from an interview where Cuban did not talk about blood sugar medication or a banned "Shark Tank" episode. artiefast: Remember folks, always fact check before sharing videos claiming to have secret remedies! artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
