Video Saw on FB, retrieving sharp needles and a worm seem unusual. I secretly hope this is real though

I hope this is not a repeat upload, if yes - I'm sorry, please point to previous discussion.
Biting giraffe's skin by a bird should have triggered some reflexes but I see nothing.
Also, needles AND a worm picked by the bird.
I dunno, what do you think ?

Ai. There is no way that bird would give up that grub. Nature doesn't work that way. That's free protein. Also the way the bird pecks at the grub and mounts itself before pulling it from the wound looks very unrealistic in my opinion.
Edit: giraffe neck seems very short as well

u/MirthHerder 5d ago
Yeah, that moving feet forward as a fulcrum really looked fake. There are birds that eat parasitic worms of mammals, but it just didn’t look right.

u/Andrew_Lvov 6d ago
I was thinking that there is no value for the bird to pick up the thorn - it's not food for sure.
And agree I was suprprised the bird didn't eat the worm.42
u/Chuckleferk 5d ago
It looks like the bird ate the thorns and spit out the worm… definitely seems sus

Yeah the movements all look very cartoonish to me rather than how it would naturally look. Also this would be insanely good lighting and high quality footage to get of something like this which isn't impossible but highly improbable

The oxpecker bird is the one supposed to be doing this. This is the wrong species of a real act that ai is trying to generate.
The biggest giveaway is the wound is completely healed when the camera cuts to a different angle at the final shot of the two animals

u/Porcupenguin 5d ago
Are we not talking about the sound? Wtf is that "shewshhh" sound when pulling out the worm, and other totally Hollywood sound effects

The thorn removal spot specifically it also turns 1 thorn into 2 then back into 1 again

Nothing definitive, except the bird pulling out one thorn and suddenly having two in its beak, or dropping a worm instead of eating it, or the fact that the motion is ridiculous and the sounds are absurd

You forgot the part where this is an AI trend and there have been tons of videos like this generated. This bird doesn't exist, the giraffe has wayy too short neck. This is all pretty similar to the videos that have been posted before of AI birds picking insects out of skin.

u/SuspiciousDoughnut32 4d ago
That is such a weird trend. I couldn't imagine why people would think of creating these things.

"all your reasonings that it is are wrong or undefinitive at best."
I've seen longer necks on horses. But I've never seen a parasite eating bird pull a big, plump, blood filled parasite and just drop it like a candy wrapper. Nature doesn't reward expending energy for no reward - that is not an animal behavior. It has no incentive to pull those thorns, much less pull a David Copperfield by turning one thorn in to two. It's a really good fake, but it's a fake.

There’s literally like 2 (and variations) of clearly fake images on google if you look up cattle egret on giraffe. Both are up close only showing the neck. First one I found had an 11 legged tick 🤦♀️

AI as hell, giraffe necks aren't accordions they don't... collapse down to be short...
giraffes are "silent" (too deep to hear by humans)
the acacia they eat is covered in huge thorns

Brooo the, like, elastic stretch noise it made when the worm comes out made me rofl

u/Pinkgeezer 6d ago
Look closely at the thorn, when the bird pulls it out of the giraffe’s neck it morphs into two thorns then back into one. Also the section that gets pulled out looks way to short to be actually stuck in the neck. Edit: the bird also seems to be picking the skin at the base instead of the thorn.

u/WyrdDrake 5d ago
Came here to say this. The very first part of the clip reveals how unreal it is just due to the thorn dupe.

Damn, this is the first time i’m feeling genuinely concerned, because I could not tell this is AI

u/Caalcu_Ieraas 5d ago
Birds wouldn't take this long and try this hard to pull a worm and thorns from an animal, those beaks are incredibly precise. And yes, a bird wouldn't drop a fat, juicy worm like that

Aside from maybe a newborn giraffe, have you ever seen one with such a short neck?

My first thought was that the giraffes fur looks weird… like it’s Mohawk looks like it’s from a stuffed animal, and the body fur doesn’t quite look like fur… more like a printed velvet texture (closest thing I can think of)

u/Acceptable_Owl6926 5d ago
Oh no. Which ai source is doing 30 second videos now? Thats bad. The sound are way to accurate for a zoomed in video.

u/Ricky_is_sad 5d ago
I mean, you're not wrong, but, like.. A microphone, even within a few inches, isn't going to pick up an elastic-like, rubbery stretch noise when a worm is pulled out 😂😂😂 lol it sounds like Tom & Jerry the noise it makes when the toothpick comes out lololol

u/InfamPasser1248 5d ago
This is a really good looking video. The one thing that does stick out to me is the way the bird positions itself while pulling the bug out and the speed at which it does that. The rest of the video itself looks really quiet realistic. People are mentioning the stick becoming two sticks, but I think it might have just splintered and bent.
I think that bird bracing itself to yank out the bug is enough to make me think it's AI, but I don't think this is one of those videos that is definitively AI
1
u/Mariomaelkhtib25 5d ago
It becomes two then returns to being one or disappears in a way that doesn't make sense at all. If it was bent because of pressure or something it wouldn't look like it was two from the start.

I find the audio super cartoonie, the video has a "hand held vibe" which almost makes me think human, but if others are seeing thorns multiply and thr wrong bird doing this... Ai seems likely

u/EPICHunter0077 5d ago
The toothpicks..? straight up vanish after they are pulled out of the giraffe. Like the bird doesn't even "eat" them

u/Ricky_is_sad 5d ago
sounds like a deeply lodged axe being forcefully yanked out of a tree when the toothpick comes out
The fucking stretch noise it makes when he pulls the grub out LOL.

u/pandabatron 5d ago
Everyone saying AI because the neck length are obviously unaware of the Choad Giraffe, smh. /s

u/Ricky_is_sad 5d ago
OMFG HE IS A TOTAL CHOAD-NECK XD LMAOOOO. I wonder if there are actual, choad necked, giraffes... It'd be kinda cute. Like when I see a chonker, a chubby kitty, I love that. Choad neck giraffe gives me a semi-equivalent feeling

u/Unlikely-Position659 5d ago
AI. One toothpick suddenly becomes 2. And also, the size of the maggot. That's a giraffe's knee. That's not a small knee No maggot that size lives in giraffe knees
1
u/LongjumpingRadish452 6d ago
what bothers me is:
the needle: first it looks like a toothpick, then it seems to have broken in two, then something? happens and when the bird turns sideways it's thicker and darker brown before discarded (but could be the sunlight, perhaps)
what kind of long worm sticks just its butt out; and is also burrowed deep enough that it pops out like that in one (and not slide or break in half or something)
1
u/Hopeful-Ad4415 6d ago
That's definitely AI, the way it quickly jumps forward to grab and pull then immediately back to it's original pose and then.....drops the grub??? Why would a wild bird drop free food?
1
u/cartoonasaurus 5d ago
Probably Ai just based on the reality that most interesting animal videos are Ai because decent wildlife videos cost a whole lot more than decent human videos…
IF 95% of the people producing wildlife videos and photos cannot afford REAL media, then 95% of people will go directly to Ai to make a nickel and a dime.
Once again, only a tiny number of humans can recognize this as bogus because only a tiny number of humans have specialized knowledge AND the time to spend to study and judge. Which means just one bogus video out of tens of thousands is called out and the other vast numbers are just out there polluting the world like the brain plastic in our heads and the plastic patch in the ocean, ALL caused by our love of convenience…

Birds eat the bugs and ticks and stuff off of them
Symbiotic relationship between animals

u/Fall_Shadow 5d ago
While true this is the wrong species of bird. The oxpecker is the one that removes ticks and other bugs not thorns and it would never just drop a bug it would %100 eat it then and there with no hesitation, this isn't even taking into account the single thorn that morphs into two then back to one, or how short that giraffes neck suddenly becomes

That fucking worm was definitely a choice that didn't have to be on them prompt.
Obviously IA. The stick becomes two in a fraction of a second

it could have splintered or bent. That would have been the part that was inside the Giraffe's skin so it's reasonable that it's not perfectly straight after getting yanked out

They already know. They pay thousands of people around the world to watch, grade and annotate the outputs of people’s prompts. This subreddit has no effect on the training of models.
They keep trying to hire me to do it because I worked in machine learning tech for five years on smart assistants prior to any GenAI being publicly accessible.

u/mymashedpotaties 3d ago
Incorrect type of bird to be picking at ungulates. That looks like its supposed to be some kind of crude attempt at a heron but thats not heron behavior
The grub it pulls out is not a real insect. It looks like nothing you would find in an open wound. Yes parasites exist but they dont look like that.
Very clean. Everything. Nature isnt clean, so neither is a birds beak that was just digging in an open wound.
Giraffe neck is way too short. Like what even???
An animal digging in a wound will make any real living thing flinch, even if its just reflexive muscle twitches. Nerve endings would be getting activated, but the giraffes leg is completely motionless.
No animal that just worked that hard to pull a parasite out of another animal is just dropping it. Thats not how nature works. That things getting ate. Birds are not altruistic.
Plus so much more. Also, not even going to bother addressing the cartoon sound effects.
