Does a viral video really show a woman falling over and dropping a large rock on a glass bridge full of tourists, collapsing it? No, that's not true: The video originated on the account of "Stjepan Covic", who describes himself as an AI "Creator". The description of the video had a disclaimer indicating it was "created with artificial intelligence for entertainment purposes".
The video appeared in an Instagram post (archived here) published on July 10, 2025 with a description that read:
Imagine being on this glass bridge when it starts to collapse... 😨
However, it also carried a disclaimer that said:
⚠️ AI-generated simulation -- This video is not real.
Created with artificial intelligence for entertainment purposes.
