I need you to see this videoBut I also need another thing from you that is even more important.
I need you to know it’s fake. so fake So, so, so, so, so False as false as I am willing to help this sham generated by him, knowing more views knowing that while we deal with the ever -changing digital world around us, you, for you Editim, may be better to have seen.
Take one Look here.
Ok, did you see? It seems and sounds true, right? The message is at least semi -reliable: Rory Mcilroy, saturated and disappointed in his and his wife Erica The suffering of verbal abuse In the Ryder Cup, stating that he did competing in the United States.
The clip is so realistic – with public emotions still so busy about how the Ryder Cup played – how viral it turned out. While of this article – two full weeks after the event – it was seen 17 million times, it has been “liked” 596,000 times, received more than 31,000 comments, was reprinted more than 8,000 times and, perhaps the worst of all, was divided more than 214,000 times.
I was in the conclusion of taking some of those shares.
There is no boasting in this, but I’m sure I’m in the little minority who knew that the video was a moment’s trick that hit the game. I’ve been seeing Rory Mcilroy press conferences for more than a decade now. (I have written tens of thousands of words about… his Words.) I have seen any outfit Nike wrote it for the major. (He has not worn that blue shade in years.) I know that the tournament behind it is not from Bethpage Ryder Cup but from the open arms – five years ago. As the video plays out and your eyes are distracted by true Mcilroy’s clips and his family celebrating his April masters victory, the tenor of his false voice changes. It begins to sound much more written, which, of course, is: a human scenario given by a bot.
Here’s my concern: the video is well cursed and PRINCIPALLY Correct, which makes it an attack on anyone who is interested in golf, Ryder Cup or sports in general, who also wants to live in a world of whole truths.
Sound manipulation is called so much that the Irish emphasis of Fake Mcilroy is almost indistinguishable from Real Mcilroy; Even the way he pronounces the word SILENCEHOW commandIt’s in place. But Mcilroy has never said anything about refusing to compete in America, and he would never be. Not only did he start the Ryder Cup week saying he believes America is the best place in the world, but SH.BA is also home to many of his business. It is where he does most of his trade, there are millions of fans and has lived for many years. It is the homeland of his wife; Where many of his friends live; It is where he has many club memberships and where his father enjoys frequent visits and golf trips.
But maybe you don’t know all this, and you shouldn’t even be asked, even as it increasingly manipulates the world in which we live. It is not about informing enough in the minute of warm threads to extinguish fakes. It is more to have a sharper, more distinctive (or ears) eye than ever before. It’s about being more reliable than ever, but with an important catch – to be wise where We put that belief. The different nature of the account juveniles who posted the video makes the episode double getting angry.

So, yes, the Presidency here is a SCAM artist at a young age, making real-life moments, representing them as 90% factual, but including their most polarizing elements to create rapidly spreading misinformation on social media. excrete. Everyone to remove a profit of sports players, who – forgive us if we are making a jump here – can simply be motivated for (1) the darkness of roar in Rory Mcilroy’s wife, and (2) dipped in their bank accounts to swear the nearest, more liquid line. Even more worrying is Another last video From the same account that states that Mcilroy is now ‘accusing charges’ against a fan in Ryder Cup and will not play in the US until America’s PGA does something about it.
Again, not true and not close to anything that Mcilroy has done or would do. But it’s another video on her way to see seven -digit, and was posted five days after the original. Why? Because the Ryder Cup plays in our strongest nationalist feelings, which is mature to catch our eyes as we move. Because Mcilroy is open, and maybe – only maybe – he would do it, right? And because the creator of the post knows that there is not enough control of the facts or source made on the borders of everything today. I can surely tell you if a golf video is manipulated by him, but can the boy sit next to me here in the corner of the cafe? Maybe not. Like me-a simple American-with-a-one-by-one-time consumer is sensitive to his coffee videos!
So what should we do?
Set up your confidence in the created media brands. Golf.com can be one of them; Golf Digest another. Golfweek and Golf Channel, too. ESPN and Athletic and Associated Press. Put your trust in people than posts. Even better: the people who decide himself In the posts! Those who place their face and line in front of the information they have to share, increasing actions for their inclusion. Follows the context before seeking comments, the first of which requires no doubt more effort, but promises the reward of the fact; The latter of which, in the case of this specific false of that deep one, has become an unnecessary and unexpected culture war, extending only the distance that the video will travel. You have to move for a few seconds before finding someone who shows the video is fake.
Which restores this, I think, fully aware that this video will travel even further now that I have carried out 1,200 words of reflection, but I am also a hope that as a result of those words, there are some smarter internet consumption on the other.
