Twitter user @zapactugta6 posted a leaked "real gameplay" clip of GTA6, which quickly garnered millions of views online. However, the leak was later debunked as a fake AI-generated creation after sharp-eyed users noticed clear signs of AI involvement.

Following the incident, @zapactugta6 spoke to IGN, insisting that the post was merely an experiment to observe people's reactions and to demonstrate how easy it is in 2025 to blur the lines between real and AI-generated content.

He explained that he did not profit from the posts nor had any financial motives, emphasizing that it was just a joke. However, he was surprised by the level of attention it received.

In a private message to IGN, he concluded:
“It was just a joke. I did it purely for entertainment. Sorry for giving everyone false hope, haha.”

A review of @zapactugta6’s past posts reveals that he has consistently used AI tools to create these prank videos.
