Taiwanese 'Crane King' refutes AI-generated 'sixth marriage' rumor

A fabricated AI video falsely announcing the sixth marriage of Taiwanese businessman Hu Han-yen, widely known as the "Crane King," has sparked outrage and a strong denial from the individual himself. The video, which circulated on social media platforms, used a doctored image of Hu with his daughter and sensational text to claim he had married a local actress. Hu Han-yen vehemently denounced the video as "outrageous" and urged the public to disregard the misinformation. The false report gained significant traction, reportedly viewed over a million times. This incident follows a recent, similar rumor that falsely identified a celebrity as Hu's sixth wife, which he had already clarified. Hu Han-yen, who has previously stated he has four wives and 14 children, has reportedly used legal divorces to manage his marital status, maintaining that his family relationships are harmonious. Online commenters have urged Hu to pursue legal action against the creators of the fake video, drawing parallels to past cases involving AI-generated deepfakes.
