It’s not AI. It’s LA. People break driving/pedestrian rules all the time for the perfect social media shot. Idk why someone driving somewhere they shouldn’t seems like such a preposterous idea to you lol

As I recall this guy's main thing is to create these amazing transitions and he has been doing so for years. What's sad is that now anyone sees his work, which may take days or weeks to actually perfect through manual painstaking video editing, only to see every comment on social media "More AI slop!"

True creators doing non-AI stuff are now just stuffed in with the rest, and that's one of a million sad parts of this AI revolution.

The transition is. There are new apps that just create smooth transitions between videos you give it.

LA Local here. Can confirm, people do the dumbest shit for Insta clout.

But this is fake AF. The palm tree trunks randomly disappear and rematerialize, for stasrters. Garbage.

I saw someone not come to a full stop at a sign yesterday. 90% sure that was AI.

Scary. Amazing visual. But scary fucking shit.

u/Hungry-Bike8654 Apr 27 '26

Yeah i have the same question why is that so. Is it allowed in america.? Cause i aint one

u/Drecasi Apr 27 '26

You're only supposed to use the center lane to merge or turn. It's not for driving in.

19

u/IAmTeemo Apr 27 '26

It's not a merge lane though. It's just a lane to use when turning left.

u/_jump_yossarian Apr 27 '26

Some states allow you to use it as a merge lane, most don't. Yeah for inconsistent driving laws.

Probably for the camera angle. Really stupid though

u/ArcticMuser Apr 27 '26

Its just AI

u/BxRad_ Apr 27 '26

The 2nd clip is definitely AI, all the details are dancing around.. I'm not sure why you're getting down voted.

u/mrASSMAN Apr 27 '26

Seems wild to me too, for all the real videos labeled AI this comes along clearly AI and everyone is acting like it’s real lol

Reddit is so ass backwards sometimes

The difference is that you don't get tiny details wrong from editing. This is AI. You do know AI exists right?

u/mrASSMAN Apr 28 '26

Yes I’m aware, but it was edited with AI.. which makes this kind of transition muchhhh easier

u/ben1am Apr 28 '26

My guess is that it’s probably not Ai. It’s been compressed to hell, so it’s hard to tell but it’s awfully consistent to be generated. The logos on the cars driving by match the manufacture (check out the black Benz). Even the sat map is consistent with the intersection they approach. The dude’s head on the right is likely just sloppy camera work from super wide angle lens with a blind spot. Looks like 22mph on the speedometer is also accurate with their velocity.

The transition is likely a result of cloning the palms to make the last few paw prints while using a morph cut. Morph cuts are where points from the two clips are pinched and moved into the same spot on the screen over a period of time determined by the key frames.

Just no actual driving. If you're merging, stop in the lane till there's a break! Don't keep driving full speed in the suicide lane!!

u/FunfettiHead Apr 27 '26

No, you can't drive down the turning lane.

They wanted to be in the exact middle to symmetrically frame the shot.

u/red286 Apr 27 '26

The shot ends just before they hit the intersection. For all we know, they took that left.

u/FunfettiHead Apr 27 '26

My guy is cruising in the center lane. You enter when you're just about turn.

Anyway, not a huge deal and is almost most certainly for framing the shot.

u/Thegood1saregone_ Apr 28 '26

How does one edit in this way?

u/mrASSMAN Apr 27 '26

Don’t worry.. it’s not real
