"An analysis by NPR shows at least six clips in the FBI video were frame-by-frame recreations of shots in the iconic 'Sabotage' music video, which was directed by Spike Jonze."
"In one frame, one of the telephone lines appears to go through the head of the character: the sort of flaw that can be common in AI video generation."
A promotional video by FBI Director Kash Patel utilized AI to generate clips resembling the Beastie Boys' 1994 'Sabotage' music video.
