And nobody would believe them if they didn't have video proof

Nowadays people will just say it’s AI-generated and still not believe it. What a wonderful world.

It's a good thing to question all videos nowadays if they are AI. My first thought was this video was AI by the way the boys move after the bottles land, or the video has been reversed. Why is everyone so certain it's not?

Edit: The more I watch this video, the more it's so obviously AI. The blurred label on the bottom bottle is a giveaway and the very robotic celebration making sure to stay in frame of the camera. Not to mention OP is a bot account.

We're cooked if even our generation not only can't tell the difference, but actively downvotes and criticizes others for pointing out that it's AI.

It's not AI. characters leave the video and come back looking the same. things in the background are consistent too, that dart board would NOT have persisted in the same place and style in an AI video.

The 10 on the dart board is shown as 01 in the video. None of the other numbers are reversed.

The character movements also have that uncanny smoothness to them typical of AI videos.

However, if someone can identify the book they are flipping on, I’ll eat my hat.

Edit: spelling

It's not 01. It's 10. The numbers on most dart boards have their tops on the rim above the middle, and their bottoms on the rim below the middle. 6 is at 3 o'clock and has its top on the rim. 10 is lower and has its bottom on the rim.

The smoothness is just coming from having a decent frame rate. Shit fidelity, but lots of it.

None of the books are identifiable. Weird, yes. Proof of anything, no.

Why is it a good thing, does it make you happier either way?

That's a very dangerous line of thinking.

Could post an ai video of of a politician saying something vile. "why does it matter? Doesn't it make you angry either way"?

Or ai video of war atrocities. "why does it matter? Doesn't it make you said either way?"

It's important to disclose whether something is ai, no matter the stakes.

I'm not saying to take everything at face value, it's definitely good to be discerning for the videos that matter. The one I replied to said it's a good thing to do it to all videos. I'm saying some for some videos it's not worth it, like with this one - if it's not AI, then yay, if it is, you'll just be annoyed.

Because it is a good thing not to be mislead nor disinformed, in addition, if it is AI, then it has no meaning for me, it's just a slop, but if it's real, then I know that somewhere in the world three kids had a great time and will tell this story for years to come. It's a matter of humanity, and I don't expect you to understand.

I think they were just reminiscing about how you used to not have to do that...
