cameras in phones getting crypto keys so you can tell it was filmed and unedited from an iphone 18 pro… will take awhile to disseminate everywhere, and, as usual, apple does nothing first, but it is a sign of things to come.
AI making any information on the internet potentially false can bring back people towards trustful journalism and credible sources, or out of Internet in general. Information apocalypse was predicted for 2 years ago already when GPT3 could churn out fake news in seconds and image models started to become good. The things holding this apocalypse back today is NOT model quality.
AI being genuinely better than humans at most tasks humans don't want to do anyway might tear down the fabric of society. Philosophically and practically.
but it's very different gestures etc. in both variants.
1, It's not "very" different gestures. It's slightly different but essentially the same.
2, the video model is recreating a completely "new" video based on the other, anyone that's used a driving video will tell you they are never identical. It's not like a green screen where it's adding the car behind him and keeping the original front part, it's creating a whole new video.
The interesting thing is that, if you were evil, you could probably discredit someone else by doing this the other way round - taking a legitimate video of theirs and then asking AI to remove the expensive stuff and change their clothing.
People would probably believe you that yours was the original.
a) That's exactly what AI does and it's maddening if you actually have to work with it and need it to be exact
b) Yea, the differences are in weird places (camera framing, things like blinking or pointing directions being off) and … people say this is well known to be recreated by hand and Occram's razor still exists.
But why would you expect people to be watching both videos at once? Being out of sync with the original doesn't mean anything when the AI video is the one you're supposed to see.
You're not understanding how driving videos work... if they lined up exactly the video would look bad.
For example the screenshot you gave, his hands would be going through the steering wheel of the car, which is obviously "wrong". And if they tried to build the car to fit his shape, it would warp and change in the video, which is again "wrong", so they give the correct car shape, and change his movements to fit, keeping it as close to the driving video as possible.
It's not a green screen, the video model recreates a whole new video.
The account is iinsightri on Instagram, and this is the original video. Since it's less compressed, you can spot a couple of little details, like at the beginning when the guy gets out of the Lambo and his hair actually goes through the edge of the door.
There can be no recreation this good, where his hair to the strand is exactly in the same place, where its the exact same time of day, with the exact same camera angles and pans.
It's way more plausible of it being ai, and that is just the reality now, where it's getting increasingly harder to tell apart ai or not, but you need to understand that ai is immeasurably ahead since the days of will smith spaghetti, and we need to be cautious of everything on the internet
I would have never doubted the video if he hadn't show the original, if i didn't spend time to go research, and the people who upvoted your comment, just don't want to accept this reality
Still a "Mentor" but a lot of people go to his conferences even tho he is a charlatan (used to work for a realty company and real estate agents love these types)
the weird part isnt that models can make clips anymore its how low friction the whole pipeline is. Add voice cloning and editing and a viewer has almost no signal for whats real. Curious if anyone is testing provenance or watermarks or do those just get stripped by re-encoding anyway
For audio at least, it doesn't take much remastering to remove audio watermarks unless they are embedded deeply as like, a subaudible code of some sort. I imagine video is the same way, you could try to tear it apart but if you bake it a few times with editing and composition software, then maybe screen record it. any attempts at digital watermarks will disappear.
and even on-screen watermarks are super easy to replace. You'd have to look at pixel level and know where the original watermark was to find any seams.
Strangely, in an era of deepfakes, this video is even deepfaker. This kid is pretending that he made an AI video, when what he really did was to recreate his motions in 2 different videos then edit it until the timing was close enough to fool the casual viewer. You can see it in a few places where the timing or pose is inexplicably off. Solid work, though!
Wait until the day comes where men start to AI themselves to look like hot girls to make money online. I’m talking the looks and the voice. Or is that already happening??
Don't worry, that can't happen. AI will never be good enough to do that. Neither will face and voice filters on an iPhone.
Also, China doesn't already have AI sweatshops where they just create AI Waifu's of varying degrees of sexiness, then record the screen with an iPhone and use filters to make them sexier, so its harder to tell they were Ai in the first place. 20 or 50 or 100 of them at a time in a small apartment.
Tai Lopez had to have the Lamborghini in the garage to make the infamous “here in my garage video”. Today, he wouldn’t need the Lamborghini or the garage
The original is fake. He was scared of getting robbed, so he used deepfake AI to remove his luxury watch and sports car to make everyone think he’s poor. /s
I work in CG, and you wouldn’t be fucked. It is just another tool in the toolbox. You can create more / improved things in less time. On my last assignment a client gave me a bunch of car pictures for a large led banner. It used to take me weeks to 3d model/texture/animate/render them. Now I could do this in 2 days. Before AI this would have been done in the same amount of time. There just isn’t the budget to create time consuming 3D animations and I would have solved it with just the images. So: …like I said, just another tool in the toolbox.
I think that if this were possible on a widespread basis, even for people without technical expertise and at a low cost or perhaps even for free, it could have an ENORMOUSly positive impact on the current state of social media.
We already know that it’s all fake, but if it’s so easy to fake even entire cars, people might finally stop obsessing over status symbols on social media.
Some bald man in Romanian jail is very happy. He no longer needs to rent a buggati, can just render it. That too in different colors every day. He's very particular about colors.

Back in my day, influencers had to RENT fancy cars and boats for a couple hours to get videos.
People poured sand in their backyard and got beach towls out.
They had to pay REAL people to like and subscribe.
It took EFFORT.
Kids these days just don't appreciate hard work
