On June 16th, 2023, Reddit user u/TMZ_news posted a video of Grace VanderWaal's Instagram account, editing the image so her most recent post was a video addressing Daniel. The video was most likely generated through AI. In the video, AI "Grace" tells Daniel to leave her and her family alone, and that Daniel had never been in contact with any of the members of the VanderWaal family. u/TMZ_news went on to post screenshots of messages between him and Tina VanderWaal, where Tina claims the video was taken down due to Grace's lawyer advising her to do so. Daniel addressed the video on the community section of his YouTube page. His panicked reactions made it apparent that he did not see through the invalidity of the media posts, and had fallen for the elaborate prank.

Though this could be attributed to his obvious lack of intelligence, it’s also relatively convincing (this editor fell for it after not sleeping for half a week). Knowing Daniel is a mixture of obsessed, stupid, autistic, and often barely sleeps, it’s likely those attributes came together to bamboozle him.
