The story
An independent analyst stated that the AI-or-Not detection platform misclassified an allegedly edited video of French politician Jordan Bardella as authentic. The user reported the tool assigned only a 5% AI probability and 22% deepfake score to content they assert is a fabricated montage depicting antisemitic remarks. Based on this assessment, the analyst concluded the footage is entirely human-generated and represents genuine historical speech, alleging it proves Bardella made antisemitic statements in his youth. This dispute underscores current limitations in forensic AI tools when analyzing political media. Neither Bardella nor the AI-or-Not platform has publicly responded to these specific verification claims or the underlying allegations regarding the video's authenticity.
