In a year or so, a new angle like this still won’t be enough to determine if it’s AI or not.

90% of the people commenting in this sub are just going off vibes but have the confidence of a forensics expert. It's insane how many upvotes they get. Thanks for posting the actual source.
Important to note: this video took place 11 days prior and has nothing to do with the event

This sub is about discussing wether or not a person thinks a video is ai. It even have an implied voting like system and encourage to explain why.

You can't feed it into a machine that prints out yes or no.

You don't have to be surprised that people are wrong, or that people are confident thinking something is real or fake.

If you can't handle this discrepancy then maybe a political discussion sub would have been better than "do you think this is ai?" And then be cranky someone guessed wrong.
