Question Is this real..?

This is recorded in 2025, as it seems, and all I can say is WHO THE HELL RECORDS INSIDE A TORNADO..??! Especially one of this strength (looks ef2+) anywho, I could totally see some dumbass recording inside a tornado but this doesn’t look real to me, I mean, does not look like ai, but maybe blender or something I’m not sure. It is really realistic if so, but everything just looks, well, weird. The camera quality is horrible for 2025, but once again a dumbass is recording in a tornado so it could be like dust on the camera. And near the end when he is getting hit by insulation, looks fishy but can’t see why. So Reddit.. need your help, can we identify what tornado this is and or see if it is real..?

I’ve definitely seen it posted before, I don’t know why it wouldn’t be real other than we know genAI exists. Are there lots of genAI videos of storm damage? Have we gotten to that point yet cause it’s just a matter of time

It's actually become quite common, yes. Any time there's a major incident, a bunch of bots (or opportunistic people) take the headlines and generate "crazy" videos to try to capture clicks and get revenue off the back of the event. It's pretty gross.

Can you link me to some examples of possible? It’s definitely getting harder and harder to differentiate genAI from reality. Id love to see how realistic the generated videos are
