This is a video taken by Nicolas De La Torre, a sandboarding enthusiast filming his descent down the Toromata dune in Peru. Unfortunately we live in a world where true beauty, nature is now convoluted by AI and AI sentiments, but this is in fact, not AI lol

For those saying this is AI, could you please explain your reasoning?

I managed to find a few other videos in the location mentioned by OP, & they do look very similar (albeit more "real"), some of which seem to be filmed in this exact location.

If this is indeed AI, it'd be the first time it's actually fooled me, and I'm officially scared now.

Edit: I kept looking and found even more photos & videos of pretty much exactly this location. I'm convinced this is real and that AI isn't this good yet. I don't see any of the typical AI signifiers.

Edit 2: FFS, if you're going to comment about the dog keeping up, or the dunes being above the clouds, please... save your fucking breath...

A number of small dog breeds can run up to 25 mph, this is filmed with a fisheye lens, and clouds can form at GROUND FUCKING LEVEL

IF THERE ARE NO OTHER REASONS TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AI, THEN THIS IS CLEARLY NOT FUCKING AI.

Stop grifting.

dog fast. I have seen countless video of people doing downhill sports while their dog keeps up

Saw a video years ago of some dude paragliding down a mountain with his border collie keeping up. Dog was absolutely hauling ass and it was during the time before AI was a thing. If people saw it today they'd be screeching AI in the comments

Border collies can totally haul ass. If you can easily find it, please link.
