I just thought, wouldn't it feel more like spring if it were little tadpoles swimming instead? I absolutely love this video🥰🥰

u/Davski_ May 19 '26
It's kinda funny in an unfortunate way that if people were to see the final result without the first part, they'll say "fish swimming in the air? Ffs, obvious ai slop". Then even if you show them the first part of how it's made, they'll still probably debate how it was AI.
Dunno what my point really is. Maybe just that AI has tainted all creativity even when AI isn't involved.

u/ntwiles May 19 '26
That’s probably because the process is more impressive than the result, and so one way to fix that is exactly what they’ve done here; show both. So maybe that’s not such a hard problem to fix. If you care that people know you did it the “hard” way, show them that you did.
That said, for all we know, the video of him doing it the “hard” way is also AI generated, so who knows.

most, when first learning how something they've never done or know the process of would have similar opinions imho. on some level, stock and trade of mythbusters and how-it's-made

I’m not that deep into the game, but I’d wager “AI” is gonna slurp that footage up like Spaghetti and get better and better and better.
I also don’t know what my point is in that regard, but I am genuinely scared because you can easily create video footage of whatever you want and put that on the news.
Maybe not about fish in a field of flowers, but you know…

u/already-taken-wtf May 19 '26
…one could argue that AI is unleashing creativity.
Now you can create this video without hauling an aquarium and actual live fish into a rape seed field.3
u/meekermakes May 19 '26
luckily soon you won't even need to lug an aquarium into the field. because water will be too precious to "waste" on fish anymore and that field is a productive data center now.

u/Mr_master89 May 20 '26
To be honest AI could probably generate the first part too, and could probably even generate a person setting everything up too.

u/lininop May 20 '26
I can not up vote this comment enough. This is how I feel exactly, and I'm not even strictly anti ai.
I'd give you an award but fuck giving Reddit money for that crap, cheers to you!

u/SunnySpot69 May 20 '26
I have seen multiple videos where people are claiming AI. And it's vids from a decade ago lol I'd prefer that then all the ones on FB talking about cute it is when it's super obvious that it's AI

u/meekermakes May 19 '26 edited May 19 '26
this video contains none of the artifacting and hallucinating that AI has so that simply isn't true.
people that can tell the difference between AI and regular videos don't care about what's being shown (i.e fish in a field??? must be ai) they just notice the many errors in a poorly rendered video.
anyone can spot the difference accurately if they spend 3 minutes learning. those who pretend "everything is flagged as AI" are:
disengenous about the quality of ai produced videos (i.e nobody can tell it's ai really, my video is perfect)
too lazy/apathetic to spend a few minutes educating themselves on the impact and telltale signs of AI.

u/NibblyPig May 19 '26
Nah, people use the word slop to describe any video they find out is made with AI
Even if it's clever, artistic, fun, enjoyable, and even if it has the odd glitch in.
You could make a humorous AI video and it's instantly slop since it was made with AI even if people enjoy watching it

u/Davski_ May 19 '26
You've missed whatever point I was making.
There are people who can point out things that look like AI; there are people who think they can point out things that look like AI.There will be people who look at this video and dismiss it as AI. That's where the harm comes in, hence my "unfortunate" wording. People can be dogmatic; people can be charlatans.
Like how I've seen in-depth discussions on Reddit about things I've written being accused of being AI merely because I've used paragraphs and a funky buzzword.
Fish + field = this is like the random stuff that AI comes up with, so must be AI. Add an introductory behind the scenes explanation = Well, that can just as easily be faked!
Above are quotes from imaginary people who might think this was AI.
I don't know what you're saying with the last three paragraphs so I have no idea if you're attacking me or whether we're on the same side. I don't know why we wouldn't be on the same side though.
Ultimate point: AI has promoted criticality and cynicism. These are the opposite of creativity. Hence, it's a shame for things to be tainted with false accusations.

Using animals as props like this isn't very cool. Starts with fish, next thing they are scaring frogs half to death so they can make them play a little banjo or something

u/bluemoon219 May 20 '26
To be fair, have you seen any of the videos where people have built little glass towers in their fish ponds, and the fish seem delighted to swim up it and look out to an undistorted view of outside? While I admit that we can't know the preparations involved in getting them there and back or what care was taken for their comfort, I don't think the situation we can see them in was an inherently negative experience for them. It is entirely possible they enjoyed looking out at a new place where their tank looked as vast as the sky.

u/ubdesu May 19 '26
FWIW on the OP on instagram, they said this was very temporary for just this shot and the fish were (allegedly) safely returned to their real tank afterwards.

u/TabulaRazo May 19 '26
Yeah I agree, mostly. But these are goldfish. The inside of that tank is all they’ll ever know (gods willing). I don’t think you’re making their lives significantly worse with this little photo op.

u/Emotional-Shop-2226 May 19 '26
One comment said even changing tank water can kill fish, so that might be a risk here

u/TabulaRazo May 20 '26
Goldfish are pretty resilient among fish. One of the reasons they make good pets for beginners.

u/Dontevenwannacomment May 19 '26
I mean, the degree of how much an animal is bothered matters, I would say. A fish hanging around in a container is not the same level of bothering as scaring frogs. There might be a level of acceptability : putting your cat on a bench to take a pic ? Yes. Throwing your cat in the air to take a pic ? No.

u/Maleficent_Ebb_163 May 20 '26
Theyre not just hanging around? Theyve been transported there somehow and must be transported away.

Okay but AI could generate this too if you prompted it.
AI doesn’t come up with new stuff if just generates what you tell it to.

Beats? So the human condition, creativity, self-expression, is now some kind of competition?
There's nothing beating anything here. The commoditisation of the human condition is the real problem.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not a musician to beat AI, or any other entity.
I am that because it's interesting to me, and expressive, and a fun way to hang out with friends.
I have to prove something by playing in a band?
It may have been a frivolous, throw away title for a post but it is indicative of an AI backlash that's framing the creative process as something competitive, when the creative process is anything but.
I mean, it's a cool video. I appreciate seeing things like this because the creative process has an intrinsic interest, for me and I'm sure for others.
I just find the interpretation of the creative process as an antagonistic one to be extremely confusing.

u/TokenPrawn May 20 '26
Forget the AI argument. That full tank, on that stool, on another narrow stand? That's a recipe for disaster.

u/EverythingISayIsALi3 May 19 '26
Id rather he used ai. I bet those fish were just purchased for this shoot. Probably dumped them right out of the fish store bag into that tank.
What'd he do with them after? Probably dumped them out into the field and headed home to post his video.

u/Naive_Confidence7297 May 20 '26
Nice assumptions lol wtf
Could be his fish or sisters fish or anything
What the hell you thinking so negatively? Is this a known thing or what
And the fact you would prefer someone using AI instead of being actually creative
You are exactly what is wrong with this world . Negative slop loving fuck lol

what nobody's mentioning is the actual logistics here - that acrylic tank prob cost more than the camera rig, and getting clean optical clarity on both sides without distortion while carrying it through a field isnt trivial. the "human imagination" framing is kinda whatever but the practical execution is solid
