Ah cool, there is a video. We all know those can't be faked!

You're imagining things. Did you watch the video?

I stand corrected. It's hard to tell from the video.

There’s a video. No need for anyone to retcon.

That doesn't mean the video is real though!

No video, making me even more suspicious of the claim.

The demo doesn't necessarily look fake, the video looks fake.

Because I am skeptical that the video is real.

Yeah, I don't doubt it. It could very well have been edited to look like that, either for views or sensationalism. Here is the video if you want to see: https://youtu.be/CLo3e1Pak-Y

That's a fake video. Can't you see that?
