Grok's deepfake claim sparks buzz India Today A fresh video shared by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from a coffee shop to dispel rumours of his death has sparked a buzz online after Grok claimed that the video was AI-generated.

The video was shared after reports of his death in an Iranian attack circulated on the internet. In the video, Netanyahu mocked the reports of his death and quipped, "I am dead for coffee."

He then holds up his hands to the camera and asks viewers if they want to count his fingers. It is a direct reference to social media claims that his recent televised address was generated by AI.

However, Grok claimed that the video is not real and is an AI-generated deepfake clip. The claim further fuelled speculation about his whereabouts and wellbeing. The Israeli PM appeared to have six fingers in the previous video, sparking speculation about its authenticity.
