An AI-generated video of Tim Cook as a Samsung fanboy on platform X is currently going viral, having already been viewed around 300,000 times. The clip shows Apple boss Tim Cook at a Samsung booth, holding the new Galaxy S25 Ultra and eagerly tapping on it. He dryly states that the software on this device seems better than “BugOS 26”. To top it all off, he adds an astonished “OMG”.
Of course, this isn’t real. A damn good AI was at work here. Tools like Google Veo, Nano Banana Pro, OpenAI Sora or Kling AI likely had a hand in it. Noah Cat writes: “I asked Nano Banana Pro to generate an image of Tim Cook using a Galaxy S25 Ultra.” The result, however, is downright cringeworthy. The quality of the short clip shows that we’ve reached a point where you can no longer trust your eyes. Especially when you just “glance at it casually”.
