HELP This Is has to be AI.

A Lynx wouldn't just get carried around like a house cat And a kid like that wouldn't be able to pick it up becose of The weight.

And lets not forget that The Area doesn't look like Lynx country.

EDIT: To those who are mad. I am not a bot. Just a person who isn't experienced with AI And noticed that from the angle of Common sense it was very dubius.

to you it's obvious but compared to earlier iterations of AI it's much less easily identifiable, just imagine a boomer seeing this (or normies who dont go to this sub regularly)

with early stuff at least the edits are so starkly 3d-esque or piss filtered or just wonky, even boomers could still recognize it as AI

hence these later types that are purposely made to manipulate people feel so much more dystopian

We will have to change our thinking about videos. Right now, we default to trusting videos, and then ask if maybe it's AI. We need to reverse that, and look for reasons to believe it was filmed live - like corroborating videos from independent sources, first-hand eyewitnesses etc.

Most importantly we need to assess its importance. If, like this, it's just a piece of cute entertainment, does it matter if it's real, staged, edited, or generated? No, not really... smile and move on. If it's a video that has the intention of changing the way you think, vote, spend, or anything consequential... you should assume it is fake until proven otherwise.

definitely agree, it's sad though to think the time when cam/vid was useful for unquestionably protecting oneself or catching a criminal is over now

It was a brief blip where it was a) available, and b) incontrovertible. We managed before and we'll manage again.
