New Delhi, October 15: A viral video circulating across social media platforms has sparked alarm with sensational claims that a strange, unidentifiable creature was caught by fishermen near the Gold Coast in Australia. The 12-second clip, titled with a string of dramatic hashtags, features voices simulating a tense encounter, with one voice saying, "whoa christ look at her face," suggesting they have encountered a horrifying or alien life form. The viral nature of the content has led many to believe it documents a genuine, mysterious discovery.

However, the video is not a factual piece of documentation. The creator, operating under the channel 'deepchand,' has explicitly and repeatedly labeled the video as being generated by artificial intelligence. The presence of both the #aivideo and #ai hashtags in the title is a clear disclosure that the footage and the creature shown are entirely fabricated using text-to-video software. Did a Rat Run Across Al Jazeera Anchor’s Desk During Live Broadcast?

This video is a product of a rising trend of creating highly realistic, yet entirely fictional, visual hoaxes for the purpose of achieving massive views and engagement. Such content exploits public fascination with cryptids and deep-sea mysteries, particularly in coastal areas like the Gold Coast, which have been the subject of real, but often misidentified, wildlife discoveries in the past. Cloudburst Caught on Camera in Uttarakhand?

In conclusion, the claim of a strange creature being genuinely found is False. Viewers should be highly skeptical of any sensational footage that contains explicit "AI" disclaimers in the title or description. This video is simply a digital creation designed to be mistaken for news and should not be interpreted as evidence of an actual marine discovery in Australian waters.
