What happened
Lead Stories found that a video of Susan Dell dancing, posted on X on Oct. 28, 2026 with the claim it wasn't AI, is AI-generated. Hive Moderation rated it 87.5% likely AI, and Sightengine reached as high as 99% likely.
Why it matters
The finding shows that detection tools can flag a video as AI-generated even when a post asserts it is real, with Hive Moderation's 87.5% and Sightengine's 99% readings contradicting the claim.

The video in question was posted on Instagram on Oct. 16, 2026, with a caption that explicitly stated it was produced with Artificial Intelligence. The post's caption described a fictional representation of Susan Dell, based on a conspiracy theory. Despite these disclaimers, a screenshot of the video later appeared on X on Oct. 28, 2026, with a post claiming it was not AI. The detection tools' readings—87.5% from Hive Moderation and up to 99% from Sightengine—provide quantitative evidence that the video is synthetic, contradicting the X post's assertion. The Sightengine deepfake detector spiked to 96% when the face was visible, indicating facial manipulation. This case illustrates how AI-generated content can be recirculated with false claims even when original posts include disclaimers, and how detection tools can help verify authenticity.
