Can you identify signs that this video was generated with AI?

Answers:

  • the guns grow extra magazines after being let go
  • the balloon pops, but instead of disappearing - it just changes colour
  • the words on the police car (If you can read them)
  • AI gaits for all 3 individuals

Feel free to put your own answers down below!

For when you need to reload your AK twice.

Also, let's do more AI detection education.

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

yeah what's up with the "gaits" in AI videos? People always run like an old person.

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago

Remember, everything is some average over the input data. All gait is "average gait" that is then distilled from noise based on the input tokens.

It's the same reason that diffusion models all become the same grey when you average out the pixel values, because the deltas for each shift is rooted in the base noise. Video models tend to use a real image as a base so that technique isn't as reliable, but the overall idea of everything becoming average still does.

Movelements tend to be fast then slow because the overall average movement is somewhere in the middle.

It's also very short and contextless. It's difficult to generate videos beyond a few seconds, and longer ones tend to be made of short scenes and cuts

From a quick look:

  • AKs get an extra magazine after falling

  • I think the guy was popping a balloon but none of it makes sense. Why is there a spark? Why does the balloon change colour? Why does it slowly drift to the side instead of popping?

  • Camera movement is too smooth and uncanny

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

oh and the weapon seems to pop out of her hands like a video game. the second one.

[-] DasRav@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

The AKs grow magazines on the top. The balloon explodes and has a smaller balloon in it.

[-] DelgadoSlims@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

Woman on the left's shadow simply elongates insteadof rotating out like you'd expect

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Isn't the elongation because she is moving away from the light source?

The light source also doesn't seem to be at an angle where it should rotate out?

I think the AI was correct here?

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

spoilerThe balloon doesn't pop it just changed colors, also there is a weird flash when it does with no apparent source. When they drop the AKs an extra magazine appears protruding from the top of each.

Edit: Wow I caught one that wasnt in your answers

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

Hypothetically he could use a lighter to pop the balloon. That being said, that method shouldn't be so fast.

[-] lilypad@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

::: spoiler before reading answers it looked like one of the guns magically got a sight as soon as it left the persons hand.

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

I think the AI generates an extra magazine - but it's nonesense either way - could be a sight.

[-] nasezero@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago

The trees don't have trunks, and the shadows make no sense given the light sources.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

video isn't playing for me. what's ai gait?

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Some weird upright posture, almost everyone walks directly in a straight line in the same direction, and arms don't move as much as they should.

Also still before walking. Walking. Then still again.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

now that i can play it i don't see the gait. you have good examples on how to spot it?

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago

I've seen it around. I don't have any examples saved.

When the guy stands up and turns around his feet are planted and he just kinda does a gumby twist.

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

Just played it with sound and it's even funnier the balloon pop sounds like a gunshot and has what looks like a muzzle flash.

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I noticed the gumby twist, but I wasn't sure if I could indicate it as a solid indicator.

Hypothetically, if it were real, maybe he had a friend back there?

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Woman on bottoms arm quickly snaps down to place the AK as if with intent (like "placing it" but way too quickly, and with such speed that if she actually did that the gun would bounce more), the balloon flies off WAAAAY too slowly and ends up in a weird yellow orb shape, the woman on the right drops her AK through her arms

[-] Nacarbac@hexbear.net 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The shadow of the wing mirror is too thin.

One I'm not sure about, since it's not a very hi-res video, but the tree on the right side isn't moving to a breeze it's just kind of writhing - might not have a proper trunk either, seems too skinny. There's a subtle writhe to the cars below it as well, and their lighting seems pretty flat.

The lady on the right, her left hand vanishes halfway through.

her left hand vanishes halfway through.

Well duh that's why she dropped her gun

[-] starweasel@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago

Tap for spoilerthe guns don't fall naturally either, the first one drops like its been magnetized to the floor and the second one bounces weird. also, the swcond one kinda falls theough her handa?? like it was in her hands and thrn it was falling, it wasnt dropped. idk, i dont drop a lot of guns but i do drop a lot of other things and ive never had anything fall like that

Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.
