Rumor – Videos show a giant human pyramid being formed in an arena.
Analysis
A video showing dozens of people forming a gigantic human pyramid began circulating on social media as if it were a recording of a real performance.
The images draw attention due to the large number of people involved, the height of the structure, and especially the way the pyramid moves without collapsing. Read the message that accompanies some of the versions:
Human pyramid… Video shows a giant human pyramid in an arena, formed in an incredible way.
Fact-Check
To understand the origin of the images, three questions need to be answered: 1) Do videos show a human pyramid being formed in an incredible way? 2) How were the videos showing a human pyramid being formed in an incredible way created? 3) Are there similar fake news stories like this one?
Do videos show a human pyramid being formed in an incredible way?
No. The viral video showing the massive human pyramid is not an authentic recording of a live event. The material was created using artificial intelligence. In fact, during the investigation, the original post in some versions included a label indicating AI-generated content. Detection tool results also confirmed that the video was synthetic.
How were the videos showing a human pyramid being formed in an incredible way created?
The video was digitally generated with artificial intelligence. Beyond what was mentioned, unnatural movements among the people can be observed, alongside an excessively uniform arrangement of participants and a background crowd that barely moves.
Additionally, the content comes from a profile specialized in publishing this type of material, featuring the watermark Dola.ai, which is associated with artificial intelligence creations circulating across social media.
Are there similar fake news stories like this one?
Yes. The use of artificial intelligence to generate realistic-looking scenes has already appeared in several articles checked by Boatos.org.
Another circulating video claimed to show an armless gymnast performing extraordinary routines during a performance.
Another case involved a video where dancers supposedly formed the shape of an elephant during a show.
In all of these cases, the appearance of being an authentic recording is a key part of the strategy behind spreading the content.
Conclusion
The videos showing a giant human pyramid moving in a seemingly impossible manner were produced using artificial intelligence. Independent analyses identified inconsistencies in the crowd movements and background details, alongside finding labels indicating the original content was generated by AI. Therefore, it is not a real performance.
