Upon analyzing the video using Google Lens, we found that it had been widely shared, prompting a closer investigation.

Further examination revealed several inconsistencies, including environmental details, blurred faces, and unnatural movements of the people in the video. These aspects raised suspicions that the video may have been generated using artificial intelligence.

To verify this, FactSeeker conducted a search on the Deepware website, which confirmed that the video was AI-generated.

Therefore, FactSeeker confirms that the video circulating on social media with the caption “World’s largest jackfruit ripens in Kegalle District, Sri Lanka” is an AI-generated creation.
