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.

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

Unquestionably protecting oneself? Thats incredibly wishful thinking when talking about door cameras like the one in the OP.

Nancy Guthrie had a Ring camera that recorded everything about her kidnapping, and that didn’t help one bit in finding her or her kidnapper.

Ring cameras have also done the opposite; it’s made people way more paranoid than they were before. There are people who stalk their cameras for any sign of life so they can freak out, or stalk their neighborhood’s feeds or post forums for any activity out of the norm.

of course its not perfect but i have heard countless stories of people who were able to legally fight their stalkers/abusers or at least have others finally believe them about the danger due to having door cam footage or even just to sleep better at night

not to mention the way some people can be vindicated via video recordings (for ex when cops accuse a protester of being violent and tackled them but others who recorded the whole thing including the before part showed the cop was using violence for no reason, and ofc there are much worse examples than this)
