The viral video showing a whale swallowing a yacht has been revealed as a hoax. It was AI generated and isn’t real.

It definitely fooled a lot of people on the internet. The video quickly got 28 million views on X (formerly Twitter) after being shared by @RealXavier011 on the platform. Is it even the real Xavier? It wasn’t a real whale. What can we trust anymore? You can’t blame people for thinking it’s real. It looks real enough. Plus, there was that story from a couple of weeks ago where a whale really did swallow a kayaker before spitting him back out. So, why would it be ridiculous for it to happen to a boat? Anything is possible out there on the water it seems like. Check out the viral video for yourself below. Would you have caught on that it was AI generated?

Did A Whale Swallow A Yacht?

To help clear up any confusion, there is now a community note added to the post saying, “As you may have quickly noticed, this video was generated by AI. The plastic-like appearance of the whale and the distortion of the people on the boat are clear giveaways. A soundtrack was later added to enhance the sense of danger.” Looking at it now that you know it’s fake, it’s pretty clear and obvious and I see all the signs of it being AI generated. However, at first scroll by you probably wouldn’t have noticed it! It seems like many people online certainly did.

Be careful with what you see online! It’s not always real. That’s why it’s always good to get your news and information from credentialed and trusted news sources so you don’t fall victim to a hoax like this.
