Every year, the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth II inspires people with her Christmas Day message. However, a video entitled The Alternative Christmas Message 2020 went viral instead of her real speech.
The alternative Christmas message video shows Queen Elizabeth dancing, which was shared by Channel 4 on various social media platforms. The UK broadcaster was behind the creation of the video using Artificial Intelligence (AI) software.
