Grand Theft Auto fans are so shook they're question if Rockstar’s new footage is AI-generated

With only a week left before the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, there's little in Rockstar Games' marketing that players haven't seen before. That familiarity is true of new GTA 6 features, at least. In terms of visuals, the game developer just proved it still has plenty of Leonida to show off.

The new clip that has fans talking was shared via Rockstar's Instagram stories on Wednesday, and it's based on a video originally uploaded on the OnlyInDade account. The regional social media account chronicles some of the wackier things that happen in the Florida county. A quick swipe through many of OnlyInDade's posts will explain exactly why Rockstar made the gator state the setting of its new open-world game. Some Miami-Dade incidents sound like a parody of a Florida Man headline.

The video is only 15 seconds long, but it has repeatedly left viewers with their mouths agape. Many watched it initially and fully believed they were looking at real-world footage. They weren't.

If it seems convincing, it's because the GTA 6 clip is a near replica of a video that originally captured a scene in Dade. When you compare the two , GTA 6 's simulacrum becomes more obvious. The "real" video has way more humans walking about, and the colors aren't saturated to make a screenshot pop. The video game clip also features some shaky cam, which creates the illusion there's an actual person holding the phone.
