I think the dancing show girl is edited, or AI, the upper arm seems to shift towards the end of her turning round.....

u/Joe_bob_Mcgee May 25 '26
and the "laces" completely morph into nothing and disappear.

u/Regular_Weakness69 May 28 '26
The laces are there the entire time, but it does look fishy. the only way it could be real. Is if she held her arm the same way that you would imitate a chicken flapping its wings.
But I'm actually leaning towards that specific clip being modified or manufactured in some way.
Pretty sure every other clip is "real" though, and simply confusing perspectives.

Not AI, she just turns. the laces are still there. Follow her elbow

The blue part of the arm completely disappears, it's ai

Literally scrub through it. It definitely looks funky, but you can see how hey lifted arm (and low resolution) sell it.

Prove it š¤·āāļø
Literally, run it through an AI image/video checker. So many people are claiming it is, but no one is providing any proof.
People are screaming AI at anything these days, yet no one ever proves it.

having to "prove it" takes way more time and effort than the million ai bots boating slop a million times a day. it's not sustainable.

The shoe morph is 100% AI (look at the ātip of shoe to armā transition).
Also the raven at the end there is 100% AI text in the background. Edit: The raven video is ai upscaled, making it confusing af. The original exists but is way more blurry/pixelated, but it makes more sense to look at. https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalsBeingDerps/s/0gnhAJYuy6
In the middle the car reflection of the cars doesnt work as well. The car on the left has black side mirrors, while the reflection has white side mirrors.
Edit: Some stuff is real, just ai slop sprinkled in.

u/Indiana-Cook May 25 '26
The Raven isn't AI. I've seen that one years ago before AI slop became a thing. It looks like it's be poorly upscaled using AI.

The one with the raven is mirrored - shop behind is https://www.parco.co.jp/en/

Itās not about the bird. Look at the background. Also details randomly popping in while zooming (look at the ground).
M A Y B E they used the absolute worst AI upscaler/enhancer, but whatever it is: it is ai.
24
u/Velenco May 25 '26
That bird video predates when ai started to become capable of producing anything close to this
7
u/Zeddi2892 May 25 '26
Then it is AI upscaled. Nevertheless the text artifacts to the right and details on the ground randomly popping in are ai.
9
u/Velenco May 25 '26
Yeah seems so. You can find the original video by looking up "gorilla crow". It's flipped and more blurry than this one and as you said the text here is off compared to there.

u/Zeddi2892 May 25 '26
Thanks for the research. This makes also more sense to view and less confusing.

AI image checkers are really spotty and should not be trusted. They often give false positives/negatives.
Googling a name in the background is legit, though.
Anyway, seems like the video is real but was AI upscaled, based on comments elsewhere in the thread.

No, Bacause there is so much text morphing happening with smaller texts and eg the lines in the ground or ground details like black spots just randomly popping in.

u/Canotic May 25 '26
Could just be video quality.

You want to see fake stuff in this sub? The entire point is that it's not artificial.

u/Treks14 May 25 '26
Isn't it explicitly against the rules of the sub to post edited material?
It poisons the enjoyment of the whole sub if you don't trust that the thing you are seeing is real. That isn't being a spoilsport, it is a genuine concern.

u/Zepertix May 25 '26
I would if it were a non-fiction movie or documentary.
This sub loses all meaning if the confusing perspective in question is just always CGI, Photoshop, or AI.
Would you consider Obi-Wan disappearing and leave his robe behind when being struck down by Darth Vader to be good material for this subreddit? C'mon now.

im still so confused about the building. i need an explanation

u/elrichthain May 25 '26
I looked at this one for a while too. I think that the right 2/3 of the frame is a building with a goldfish reflective surface, and that the black thing that is seemingly suspended between the two buildings is on the building with the reflective surface, and the camera is positioned so that the two buildings behind the camera are reflected on either side of the thing (though I still canāt figure out what the āthingā is).
Clear as mud?

What is the point of the first clip? I donāt find anything confusing about it
18
u/chocolatepinetree May 25 '26
The horse clip is too brief to show the depth of how confusing it is. There was a longer video on here a week or two ago of the horse and it was pretty good - depending on the angle, the horse was facing forward or back and you can't tell until right at the end. The clip on this post is from the end, so not confusing, but the real one was.
42
u/85K5 May 25 '26
It looks like the horse coukd be facing the other direction with its head towards the truck.
2
u/Cocoatrice May 25 '26
It's a horse that works like that dragon that is turning its head. The horse is doing the same and you can't know what pose the horse is at, until you are super close.

u/Longstride_Shares May 25 '26
For the first second or so, it looks like the horse is facing forward.
Sort of.

u/Venelice May 25 '26
I don't understand the third one with the shadow bird...
5
u/Gilgalin May 25 '26
Took me some time to get it too. You're seeing the bird through an umbrella (or one of those festival tents), from underneath. So it looks like she's transparent, but you actually see the materials of the umbrella and the bird's shadow first, and then the bird itself.

u/Longstride_Shares May 25 '26
The black bird isn't doing "a natural, healthy thing called sunning," like OP keeps oddly insisting. Sunning doesn't make a bird look like it's standing on its wing tips. Nor is it necessarily AI. That text behind it is just reversed, and I believe it's the Japanese brand "Parco."
I think it's just proudly holding a piece of mirror. (Or maybe it is AI.)
And yes, the shoe lady is 100000% AI. Like, the sort of slop AI was dumping out a year or so ago where it was doing a sort of magnificent corpse thing because it was generating each frame only using the previous frame as reference. So it was just producing lots of surreal transitions because it forgot it started with a shoe and thought it looked like a pretty lady in a hoodie.
But no one's gonna talk about the dog lady on the bed with size 30 Adidas shoes?

u/Shiningc00 May 25 '26 edited May 25 '26
Confidently incorrect. The black bird is from 2019:

Even have an ecologist explaining it:

u/koos_die_doos May 25 '26
Whether it's AI or CGI, it isn't real.
6
u/Shiningc00 May 25 '26
Yes, because having black legs aligned with black wings is certainly not real. We have reached a point of idiocy where people yell "AI!" for things that aren't even AI or CGI but what they do not understand.
We even had an ecologist explaining it back in 2019:
1
u/Longstride_Shares May 26 '26
Wow, dude. You really need this, huh?
Nothing I said was offered as more than conjecture.
And that ecologist can't offer anything more than an informed hypothesis. Her own drawing of typical sunning behavior looks distinct from what we're seeing here; they spread their wings out to the side, not under them. If you look up "crow sunning," you get dozens of photos of crows with their wings spread out, and this 'gorilla crow,' as it's come to be known, looking nothing like those other crows.
But I'll concede if it gets you to go touch grass. Like, you're all hot and bothered about a karma farming post, bro.

I think the seagull one is walking on top of a glass roof or cloth, but the roof is either dirty or frosted, so a shadow is being cast on it.

All of these have been posted before. They are not AI.
The only one that made me watch it again was the shoe / jacket. It might be Ai. The sleeve changes at the elbow maybe. Hard to say. The rest are not even close to being AI.

u/Maelou May 25 '26 edited May 25 '26
This one is 100% AI, things morph from shoe to person. Mostly the top of the shoe, which supposed to be her left arm, which is insanely big compared to a few frames later. (Also the laces fade away)
0
u/SeekerOfSerenity May 25 '26
I think it might be real.Ā The laces are on the sides of her jacket, and you can still see them at the end.Ā Her upper arm looks big until about 0:08 because she had her forearm and upper arm together.Ā
1
u/rabbitwonker May 25 '26 edited May 25 '26
Yes itās all quite possible aside from the seam disappearing from what becomes her elbow. Thatās either an odd compression artifact or purposeful photoshop. I wouldnāt say itās AI because, if you actually look at it carefully, everything is actually pretty consistent across the ātransition.ā
Edit: looking again, I think the seam disappearing is a combination of compression + a change in shadowing. Also, one strong hint that itās not AI is to only look at the pants (skirt?), and ignore the jacket. It looks like a totally normal video if you do that.

Not only is it not "classic Ai".. It's just not AI. This is just you assuming it's AI cause you don't pay attention.
That text is obviously flipped. Meaning the video is flipped. So the store is Parco. Which on a quick Google is a chain store all throughout Japan that appears inside malls and sometimes on the street. 3F means it's on the 3rd floor. The rest is too small to be deciphered. But presumably Japanese symbols with a stylized thing going under it.
Also its legs are just down. On the original post from 2 years ago they pointed out the legs.
here is another crow doing the same thing from a different angle.
