La dresseuse Jessica Radcliffe tuée par une orque ? Toute la vérité sur la vidéo devenue virale sur les réseaux sociaux

A video depicting an alleged orca attack on a trainer named Jessica Radcliffe recently made the rounds on social media, garnering millions of views. However, several fact-checking sources confirm that the video is entirely artificial intelligence (AI)-generated and that no trainer by that name exists.

The clip shows a woman dancing on the back of a killer whale at a park called Pacific Blue Marine Park, before the orca suddenly pulls her underwater. Several internet users claim that the victim died shortly afterward. However, there is no credible evidence to support this incident: neither authorities, nor reputable media outlets, nor marine parks have reported a similar event. Forensic analysis of the video reveals inconsistencies in the water's movements and artificial effects, confirming its manipulation by AI.

Forbes and The Economic Times called the video a "hoax" and noted that an incident of this magnitude would have made international headlines. The names of the trainer and the park were invented. The hoax was inspired by real events, such as the deaths of Dawn Brancheau in 2010 and Alexis Martinez in 2009, but it has no connection to Radcliffe's story.

Experts point to the realism and emotional intensity of these videos as the reason for their virality. They exploit concerns about marine animal captivity while also playing on sensationalism.

In conclusion, the video showing the alleged orca attack on "Jessica Radcliffe" is entirely fictional. With the proliferation of AI-generated content, it's essential to verify information with reliable sources before sharing it.
