Viral video edited to falsely claim child performed for deceased mother on America’s Got Talent 2024

What I found: I split the video into several keyframes and performed a reverse Google image search on some of them.

  • I came across the same video on YouTube on a channel called “Talent America Son” from October 4th.

  • The video’s caption stated: “This video features a virtual avatar created solely for entertainment purposes, pretending to be a contestant in a fictional context and unrelated to the official Got Talent program or its actual contestants or events.” This representation is entirely generated and is not intended to deceive, but to provide an artistic and imaginative experience. All characters and events depicted are fictitious. Enjoy this content as a piece of virtual entertainment.” (chic.)

  • It was clear that the video was edited and made for “entertainment purposes”.

Conclusion: The viral video is edited and falsely shared as a real incident.
