A video shown during a Russian military parade featured AI-generated aircraft. Instead of actual aerobatics, the video displayed what some observers called "AI garbage."
What happened
The video depicted aircraft with the insignia of NATO countries. The parade itself was already unusual, featuring marching soldiers and music, instead of the usual military equipment. Some observers noted the video switched between what appeared to be real footage where the planes were not clearly visible, and the AI-generated video. After this, the video cut back to real footage of other aircraft.
