Bamboozled: Viral bunny trampoline video is fake
Share and Follow


WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Over the weekend, a video went viral on social media, garnering millions of views and shares over multiple platforms.

It started on Sunday when TikTok user @rachelthecatlovers posted a video with the caption,  “Just checked the home security cam and… I think we’ve got guest performers out back! @Ring.”

The video has been shared over multiple platforms and garnered millions of views. However, it turns out the whole thing is fake.

The @rachelthecatlovers account has just five videos, four of which were posted over the past three days, and all are either AI-generated or contain elements that are. In the bunny trampoline video, one of the three bunnies on the right side of the trampoline suddenly disappears. Other obvious signs of AI appear, such as sudden changes in color and resolution and unnatural blur.

The video was viewed over 57 million times in one day and reposted on various social media sites, according to fact-check website Lead Stories.

“In reality, that was not authentic home security footage, and those were not real bunnies,” the site concludes, noting that along with the disappearing bunny, another can be seen changing shape. “The whole clip was AI-generated.”

The video spawned imitators, including dogs, deer, bears, and raccoons bouncing on trampolines. While the videos may seem harmless, it’s a good reminder of why things posted and shared on the internet should not always be taken at face value.

The Better Business Bureau offers tips on how to spot fake content generated by AI.
