At first, the video looked to be AI: Rory McIlroy holding up his phone for a selfie leading his victorious Ryder Cup teammates on a chant of “Are you watching Donald Trump?” from the locker room at Bethpage Black. The words were slightly out of time, the song was definitely out of tune, and it was all a bit slurred given the celebrations at hand.
But on second viewing, the 14-second clip appeared genuine enough. AI content, surely, is not yet at the point where it could generate all 12 members of the European team and its captain Luke Donald singing in unison, let alone the little details from Donald lifting up the Ryder Cup to the camera to Matthew Fitzpatrick holding a Gatorade bottle in the background.
