“Port of Nicosia” Video Goes Viral with AI

An AI-generated video depicting a fictional “Port of Nicosia” has gone viral on social media, in response to a gaffe by ERT during the arrival of the Greek frigates “Kimon” and “Psara” at the port of Limassol. ERT incorrectly announced that the frigates had arrived at the “Port of Nicosia,” a city inland with no access to the sea. This mistake inspired the creation of the video, which portrays a fictional Nicosia with a beach and port. The video features politicians such as President Christodoulides and Government Spokesman Letymbiotis enjoying life by the sea. The video has gained significant popularity on social media, with users humorously commenting on this “historic” development.
