A video that went viral on social media this week left internet users outraged. In the clip, an “emotional support kangaroo” was being prevented from boarding a flight with its owner.
However, the case was quickly debunked, as it is a video generated by AI. Some internet users noticed this fact when they realized that the supposed owner of the kangaroo and the airline attendant were speaking an incomprehensible language.
Additionally, the kangaroo was holding a plane ticket in the clip. But when zooming in on the image, it is possible to see that the words written on the paper are just meaningless symbols.
The clip was made by an Instagram profile called Infinite Unreality, which posts various videos of this kind, such as one of a flamingo being searched at the airport.

Many internet users who thought they had trained eyes to identify videos made with artificial intelligence admitted they were shocked when they discovered the clip was not real.
“I can’t believe that at 25 years old and being a biologist, I believed this kangaroo video and almost cried,” said one user on X (formerly Twitter). This shows how AI-generated videos are becoming increasingly realistic.
