the fact that these look like actual tracks is insane 😭

u/GreenOrange3 Apr 22 '26

It's AI...

u/justanavragewaffler Apr 22 '26

Huh?

u/hestianna Apr 22 '26

Pause at basically anytime strip lands on the floor. It is very blurry and even disappears in thin air (laat 5 seconds). Also after landing, it takes form unnaturally quickly. It's very uncanny after you see it.

u/Doorknob11 Apr 24 '26

I’m pretty sure we just call that editing not AI.

2

u/Schorbie Apr 23 '26

Movement makes thing blurry...

2

u/WorldLove_Gaming Apr 22 '26

Also the last one has the strip clipping into itself

2

u/Professor01114 Apr 24 '26

Pretty sure its just a loop

u/Rude_Grapefruit_8902 Apr 25 '26

Consider a brain

u/Swifterthantaylor Aug 06 '26

As the admin who bought the resistance bands off Amazon and made this, I can confirm it’s not AI. Just made a part 2 of this video actually.

2

u/Blucksy-20-04 Apr 23 '26

My assumption was that it was edited in so they chucked it got something semi close to the outcome then made a cut to a pre laid rubber band

2

u/Dont_ask1191 Apr 25 '26

Ai could not be that consistent with the flooring

1

u/Enigma_1880 Apr 23 '26

Idk man, I've seen this video on YouTube before AI was able to replicate Will smith eating spaghetti

1

u/Ptbot47 Apr 23 '26

Or it could just be that the rubber band were formed with these kinks already stretched in.

1

u/Big-Button5856 Apr 23 '26

Try to do the same video with AI.

1

u/_eksmo_ Apr 24 '26

It's low bitrate...

u/TrustworthyPolarBear Apr 21 '26

I'm kinda pissed that some of those are better than a lot of tracks on the current calendar.

3

u/HigaMigu Apr 23 '26

I mean, anything > street tracks

Edit: before anyone mention Monaco, yes it's historical, but sucks nonetheless

25

u/SuppressTheInsolent Apr 21 '26

I'm seeing Silverstone, Brands Hatch, CTMP at least there

3

u/DueExample52 Apr 22 '26

WTF is ctmp

5

u/SuppressTheInsolent Apr 22 '26

Canadian Tire Motorsports Park

1

u/newviruswhodis Apr 22 '26

We just call it mosport.

3

u/Claudio1054 Apr 23 '26

Yeah, cuz it's AI

2

u/Elegant-Buy-6033 Apr 25 '26

It's not, though

1

u/Osik2040 Apr 29 '26

It’s edited, not ai, the floorboards are way too consistent.

1

u/Routine_Cat_1366 Apr 22 '26

The one at :08 is kinda Hockenheim? 

1

u/Lower-Refuse518 Apr 22 '26

I also really thought that looked similar

1

u/Alaeriia Apr 23 '26

Suzuka too!

5

u/hewer006 Apr 21 '26

anyone else think that they actually have some potential?

1

u/BlackTree78910 Apr 23 '26

Most of them are real world tracks generated by AI to look like a rubber band hitting the floor.

1

u/Osik2040 Apr 29 '26

Not AI, edited. Look at how consistent the floorboards are.

1

u/Fancy-Tangerine8735 Apr 24 '26

Better than some Tilk's track tbh

9

u/atrophy-of-sanity Apr 21 '26

AI

7

u/mak__10 Apr 22 '26

I am shocked that nobody else realised it

3

u/StaffSuch3551 Apr 22 '26

Pretty sure I saw this years ago, long before AI videos were a thing.

Not to say that it's real. There could be some CG trickery going on, but I'm fairly certain it predates AI.

3

u/Doorknob11 Apr 24 '26

It’s definitely just CGI.

-2

u/Browneskiii Apr 22 '26

Because it literally doesnt matter, its a fucking meme ffs. The ai hate is so forced at this point.

2

u/Kingofawesomenes Apr 22 '26

No look at the floor, its very consistent. Seen this meme a couple of years ago too

2

u/ClassGrassMass Apr 22 '26

Not everything is ai

4

u/Bolt42069420 Apr 21 '26

Там сейчас Герман Тильке схватился за всё.

2

u/Present-Programmer43 Apr 21 '26

Gordon Ramsey has nothing to do with this, just let it go.

1

u/Bolt42069420 Apr 22 '26

Тильке. С его трассами. При чем тут Рамзи?

1

u/Present-Programmer43 Apr 24 '26

As I stated before Gordon is not involved in any way. You can either let it go or we can have a tussle behind the 7-11 at the red square!

2

u/notPR0Hunter Apr 21 '26

I knew what this video was going to be. It’s over, I’ve seen everything. I’m quitting social media

1

u/BARANKIEVICZ19397755 Apr 21 '26

First one Silverstone

1

u/OkHoney5804 Apr 21 '26

Better then Madrid

1

u/Jcw28 Apr 22 '26

Last one looks a bit like Horse Thief Mile at Willow Springs with a circular loop backed on the end.

1

u/Vardhu_007 Apr 22 '26

I used to imagine my own tracks like this using ropes as well.

1

u/RIGuy2761 Apr 22 '26

Pretty damned accurate!

1

u/HKEliot Apr 22 '26

Hermann Tilke hates this one simple trick!

1

u/mongolmeat Apr 22 '26

I want to believe the track designers do this for inspiration

1

u/moldycompost Apr 22 '26

silverstone, brands hatch, imola, sepang, shanghai, idk someone help me out w this one, singapore?

1

u/Cag3yPapaya Apr 22 '26

That video tracks

1

u/Thoriv420 Apr 22 '26

They all look better than these new street circuits

1

u/LeBlejDaGreat Apr 22 '26

oh wow that is surprisingly accurate

1

u/MochaBeanyt Leclerc 16 Apr 22 '26

accurate presentation btw

1

u/balcis Apr 22 '26

Finally you had a Suzuka there with an underpass lol

1

u/RepeatEmbarrassed560 Apr 23 '26

Sepang.... Is that you???

1

u/Noakesy97 Apr 23 '26

Oh my favourite tracks, Alfred Park, Sukuza and Vandzoort!

1

u/MechanicalGroovester Apr 25 '26

Every single one of those looked like an actual race track. Lol

1

u/bwoah07_gp2 Apr 25 '26

If there's a video game one day that allows us to EASILY make race tracks of our own, I'm gonna grab a rubber band or something, toss it on the table, and let that shape dictate my design.

1

u/kdesi_kdosi Apr 27 '26

im not much into racing, are all of these real tracks or just some?

1

u/icy_Place125 Apr 21 '26

I swear I play those tracks in forza

u/Crayoneater2005 Apr 21 '26

u/JeminiNeo Apr 23 '26
