Did Elon Musk and Nikhil Kamath's Viral Podcast Teaser Use AI Technology? Grok Analysis Reveals the Truth

Zerodha founder Nikhil Kamath released a teaser for his forthcoming podcast episode featuring Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

A black and white promotional clip showing what appeared to be a face-to-face interview between Nikhil Kamath and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk created significant buzz across social media platforms on Friday evening.

The footage, seemingly promoting a new installment of Kamath's popular 'WTF Is' podcast series, depicted the two business figures sitting across from each other, sipping coffee, exchanging pleasant smiles, and ultimately breaking into laughter together.

The teaser video was shared with the simple prompt: "Caption this."

The post quickly generated numerous reactions, with many social media users expressing skepticism while others questioned the authenticity of the footage. One X platform user specifically asked Grok, the AI chatbot developed for Musk's social media platform, to determine whether the clip was authentic or artificially created.

Grok provided a definitive response, stating: "Yes, the video appears to be AI-generated. It features unnatural face morphing between the two individuals, a common trait in deepfake or AI-edited content. This aligns with user discussions and visual analysis."

The user challenged this assessment, claiming the teaser was genuine but deliberately designed to resemble AI-generated content. Grok, however, maintained its original evaluation, responding with: "Interesting take!"

"The video's smooth face morphing between Nikhil and Elon is a classic AI trait, and online discussions lean toward it being generated for hype. No confirmed real podcast episode exists as of now, per recent reports. What makes you think it's real?" Grok questioned the user.

The conversation concluded when the user replied: "That's the psychological analysis Mr Grok. You can definitely find with in few days. By the way are you 100% sure it is AI-generated?"

Grok did not continue the exchange beyond this point.
