A new video of Michael Rapaport talking on his cellphone in a trashy Motel hallway is going viral.
Why?
Because it purports to show Rapaport negotiating a deal for promoting Israel and “Zionism” in paid posts online. It’s unclear who the conversation is with.
It’s also unclear if it’s even real.
Rapaport says it’s not:
Here’s what Rapaport himself posted to Twitter:
There’s a video circulating that makes it seem like I’m getting paid for all my videos.
This is not real.

And here’s a backup of the video if needed:
Michael Rapaport claims this video is not real. Says it’s fake AI.
What do you think?
AI is very good and getting better by the minute.
But if this is AI, it’s STUNNINGLY good.

Look, I have no idea if it’s real or not.
My only take is that I know AI is good and getting better literally by the minute (it never sleeps, always training, always improving — quite scary actually).
I’ve seen some incredible things made by AI.
Like this:
STUNNING: AI Used To Recreated Hitler’s Speeches In English, In His Voice [Extreme Warning]
So maybe it's real.
But it's a REALLY good fake if it's not real.
Love to see what you all think:
Whether this particular video is real or fake, I do not know...
But I DO know that I have been predicting for 4+ years now that this exact thing would happen.
Essentially, I have been telling you that at some point in the future, a wave of celebrities (ok "celebrity" is used loosely in Rapaport's case, but still) would be caught in incriminating situations on video and then blame it on AI.
I didn't really expect it would be a phone call, I expected more things of a deviant sexual nature...but in any event I predicted this exact thing and wrote about it right here:
