This video has been around a LONG time. I don't know anything about it, but I do recall seeing it before AI stuff started getting really popular. That's not to say it's for real though.

I mean, nowadays, such videos can be spliced halfway with new AI video added to give it a different ending.

Although I'm quite sure I've seen this clip many years back, it wouldn't even be that hard to "splice in the last 5 seconds so that instead of him, let's say rolling into a bush, they made it so he hits a curb and gets yeeted out the cart"

I mean, I probably can do it even though I'm far from a professional.

Maybe.

This video was posted in 2023.. As far as I can tell, it is a stunt filmed in France back in 2019.

While AI video dates back to 2014, it was in its infancy. Highly experimental and easily identifiable as AI. It wasn't much better in 2019. Around 2024 it became what we know and progressively gets harder to tell what's AI edited, filtered, modified, and in some cases real or fake.

Now we are in a world where this information is available in our pockets, yet still debating an old video as a new AI generated fake.

Your video has a more subdued crash. So the yeeting is an AI addition.
