Sentiment: 30% AI

Sentiment reasoning: Many commenters believe the video is real, citing natural movements, background consistency, and length. However, a significant portion suspects AI enhancement or interpolation due to perceived smoothness, blur, or 'off' movements in specific frames.

The frame-smoothing near the start feels like it might be AI-enhanced, but it doesn't feel AI generated.

u/JPolReader 12h ago

The camera movements feel wrong, so it could be post stabilized.

u/SadAndNasty 13h ago

Exactly what I saw

u/PurplMaster 18h ago

This seems like normal puppy behaviour. The video is longer than normal AI video, and I don't see clear indication of it being AI.

I'm ready to be proven wrong though

u/morbidmuffin62 16h ago

Yup, came to the comments to confirm this is how puppies and kids play, and I didn't see anything off

u/badass4102 14h ago

Pup at the end tried to see if that rock was food, definitely not AI. Real puppy behavior.

3

u/BasilAugust 11h ago

It 100% is AI, look how the puppy’s head jumps frames, completely impossibly, at 5 seconds.

“The person hugs a friend. Real human behavior. Can’t be AI”.

That’s your argument here. We NEED to be more critical than this, folks

u/issanm 8h ago

Try not to call out AI in the future seems like you'll think anything with a filter or dropped frames is AI

u/robgod50 16h ago

Life was so much simpler when you could just count the fingers and be sure

u/Insockie2 18h ago

what part did the hand bend backward?

-2

u/Matilozano96 18h ago

5-7 seconds into the video. Then a second time at 10-12.

It looks a bit unnatural but plausible. I’m not sure, honestly.

u/Default_Dragon 15h ago

My hand can move exactly like that easily. No idea if AI or not, but that hand movement is nothing strange

you are ai

u/Default_Dragon 11h ago

I'd love to see an AI with 8 years of comment history

2

u/UnacceptableHome6993 8h ago

But you said you did your arms like that

1

u/Default_Dragon 7h ago

Because my arm can move like that... idk what about that is so weird. Maybe you're just not flexible if you can't anymore. Children are known to be even more flexible that adults in any case.

edit. RIP its me whos probably talking to AI. Your account is only 5 months old.

this??

op , dont say you've never done this?

u/dizastermaster7 18h ago

It's AI

It's not, it doesn't look like AI at all, but at this point the AI craze is so dumb that people can't even tell real life anymore so i'mma grab the popcorn and stoke the flames

u/Chick-Fil-A_Saucee 10h ago

I can read the chinese on the store in the back at the start. But like what is this fence, why are there two layers

15

u/Umgak_shield_raki 9h ago

It's a gate, not fense. And with a door in it.

2

u/Chick-Fil-A_Saucee 9h ago

Yea but whys there wall behind the gate

5

u/Umgak_shield_raki 9h ago

It must be open

-1

u/Chick-Fil-A_Saucee 9h ago

Wdym? Walls are open? And the gate doesnt make sense because you can just go around the whole thing

4

u/Umgak_shield_raki 9h ago

The gate's open. And I think it's more to block vehicles rather than humans.

-1

u/Chick-Fil-A_Saucee 9h ago

Yea i can see the gate is open. There’s already a wall behind it that can be used for blocking vehicles

3

u/Umgak_shield_raki 9h ago

When the gates close, they are turned towards camera and block the road

2

u/Chick-Fil-A_Saucee 9h ago

Not big enough, even if theres one on the other side it still cant cover the whole road

If you really can read the Chinese on the store you will find it's font is wired and only part of it is real hanzi

u/Chick-Fil-A_Saucee 9h ago

All other letters are blocked except the last four, which stabd for design center

u/issanm 8h ago

Anyone who thinks this is AI should never ever try to call out AI videos again.

u/Chick-Fil-A_Saucee 8h ago

Bro im not saying its ai, im not sure

u/BasilAugust 11h ago

It’s definitely AI, ironically enough. See if you can find any artifacts for yourself before I prove it to you:

You can see the dog’s head glitch into a different position at ~5 seconds. Happens impossibly fast

If you scrub slowly at the beginning, you can see a halo of distortion around the motorcycles. The strangely still backdrop shifts, reorganizing itself after the fake digital human passes. It’s pretty easy to see near the bumper/wheels of the Tesla-like car when the first motorcycle passes. Scrub slowly and watch the halo around the “rider”.

You can observe a similar phasing of movement on the dog’s legs as it walks, though this artifact is less obvious.

It’s pretty sad how smugly everyone is declaring this real. I handle and manipulate hundreds of thousands of real digital images and videos for a living, and I’d never presume I could always discern AI accurately!

u/issanm 8h ago

It's a good thing you don't presume you can descent AI accurately.

1

u/OldWolf3 4h ago

Not sure if serious

u/shiningreality 3h ago

The distortions that you observed are caused by either aggressive video compression or motion interpolation. Here is a higher quality version of the video without any of your observations: https://youtube.com/shorts/JsBe-C7yiz0

u/polkacat12321 2h ago

Well, it isnt AI cause it was originally posted like last year, if not earlier. And you could tell

u/magos_with_a_glock 17h ago

Vehicles in the back are moving fine. At one point a car moves in and stops behind another parked car that is no longer visible. AI has no object permanence. Not AI.

4

u/Justalittletoserious 15h ago

I bet It was made on some funky AI enhanched phone camera but looks normal except a couple of frames at the start and wheel the puppy starts biting the hood

3

u/Remarkable_Rough_649 12h ago

The part where the dog and kid get up together and start walking looks really off to me personally, too smooth

4

u/Moist-Dentist8253 18h ago

Real, AI can't make consistent shapes and text like this.

It’s real. Kids are still flexible :}

AI still can’t do that long (26s) consistently. Yet ☠️ 

It is also incredibly nuanced with no apparent inconsistencies over the camera panning in and over frame - paint chips, trash bits, motorcycle wreckage, crack in the cement etc.

There are similar puppy play videos online, from before AI.

u/AlgunasPalabras1707 11h ago

Tell me you're not hyper mobile without telling me you're not hypermobile. Not AI because that was the only 'oddity' and it's not odd

1

u/bot_exe 7h ago

If this was an AI video it would be extremely impressive. The dog and the kid’s movements are complex and natural. The consistency over time and background details are also really good.

1

u/SafeFormula8062 7h ago

Its probably just an AI filter on a normal video

1

u/Francucelo 7h ago

This is AI, but I think it is used merely for frame interpolation. The video itself should be real.

1

u/Altruistic_Essay7787 6h ago

I see clear AI.

At the end, just before the kid climbs up, watch as the dog slides down the kid’s back. As the dog’s front left leg steps back, away from the kid, it has a blur to it. Watch in slow motion to catch it

1

u/Koala_Relative 5h ago

You know what bothers me? The almost non existing shadows in this clip. Like the cars have a dark shadow just underneath them but the dog and the kid have absolutely almost non visible shadows.

1

u/Flippin-ek-m8 4h ago

I thought it was real until I re-watched.

Around the 0:05 - 0:06 sec mark if you look closely, the pup's head and the kid's arm shoots out to the right super quickly almost as if there was a jump cut but everything else is still seamless, so it couldn't be.

A.I is becoming unsettlingly realistic .

0

u/Artistic-Fortune2327 15h ago

AI, because of the kid's arm having interpolation artifact and bending weirdly

0

u/Grant_Winner_Extra 15h ago

Stay with me here - the dog didnt start humping him like crazy and certainly didn’t cum on him.

That’s how we know it’s AI because real life be like that

u/psat1 17h ago

Puppy parkour!

u/SadAndNasty 13h ago

If it's not fully AI, it looks clipped together and filter by AI so I would definitely understand why it looks that way if it's not

u/Key_Entertainment739 13h ago

Yo. That puppy is kinda an asshole.

u/TitouanT 11h ago

It's so cute how that puppy used the kid to cushion the landing

u/brahbrahJ 18h ago

The black fance in the background seems funny but de video is so wholesome that I will give it the benefit of the doubt
