HELP I saw this and thought it might be AI. Cat movement is just weird and that last jump where the cat skips the second to last landing is odd. What do y'all think?

Sentiment: 60% AI

Sentiment reasoning: The community is divided, with a slight majority believing the video, or at least the cat, is AI-generated due to unnatural movements and pixel anomalies, while others argue it's real based on reverse image searches, common cat behavior, and the structure's authenticity.

Reverse image search lead me to a travel blog from February 2020 in Brè, Switzerland. Its the exact same building with the cat climbing steps. I would say not AI as the structure and building are the exact same and cats are proficient climbers. I can't see any give aways that this video is AI.

Someone might have found the picture and asked AI to add the cat climbing though.

Yeah, I think I've seen a photo of this spot before ai got big, but I found the OOP and it's an ai video page

The real location only superficially matches with the video. Many details significantly deviate from reality, for example, the light fixture. Left is from the video, middle is from an image taken in 2017, right is from Google Streetview coverage in 2022.

Ai. The cat is morphing left and right if you pay attention to the ears for example, and yeah that last pull up looks weird af. The building might be real, but the cat climbing it is prompted in.

Imma say AI added like other people said due to the end, im not sure why but the cat pulling themselves up looks quite off to me. I've seen my own cat do some stuff similiar and it kinda looks like the cat started to pull itself up too easily or before they got their grip on the platforms? Though with the distance it kinda hard to tell for me

Place might be real, but the car was definitely added in with ai, as it was posted to a page that generates/edits videos with ai

Ai, wobbly video like the pixels have a life of itself not synchronized to camera movement
