Boom Live quoted Siwei Lyu in a fact-checking article regarding a video of Bella Hadid, a model of Palestinian descent, apologizing for her past remarks on Israel-Hamas conflict. Lyu confirmed the video is AI-generated. It was created by Yishay Raziel, an Israeli sound designer and voice-over artist best known for targeting anyone famous speaking out against Israel.

Lyu confirmed that all videos on Raziel’s Instagram account were AI-generated, noting their lack of synchronization between audio and video and visual artifacts around the lip area, all signs of AI-generated videos.
