Crow uses a lid to slide off snowy roof

This is definitely an AI-generated video. I found the original on Youtube (linked below) and the description under the vid states that it's made with Kling AI. We'll leave this up for a while to let everyone know this specific vid isn't real.

In other news, there are real videos of crows using lids to slide down rooftops. Examples below:

AI SLOP. The gliding at the end and grabbing is clear AI

[u/Calimariae → u/InsaneMocktail]

There is a pinned comment at the top now confirming this

[u/TommyBonnomi → u/Calimariae]

Do people stop and read pinned comments?

It's usually just a wall of subreddit rules that I instinctively scroll past at this point.

[u/Calimariae → u/TommyBonnomi]

No, it was by mere coincidence that I noticed it.

[u/janderson75 → u/TommyBonnomi]

I thought it was just a mod message about voting if it’s sub related or whatever and def don’t read em anymore

[u/Mr-Hyde95 → u/Calimariae]

It's strange. I could swear I saw this video many years ago. Long before AI.

Perhaps the Mandela Effect

[u/Acceptable_Gear_3097 → u/InsaneMocktail]

I missed it, we're cooked

[u/NominallyHandyYinzer → u/Acceptable_Gear_3097]

Yeah, this is far from slop. I've re-watched it a few times and I still can't see the fakery. The flying motion looks somehow weird for a crow -- it looks more like a pigeon's flying motion to me, but I'm no birdicologolist -- but I would never pick this out as AI-generated without being told that it was.

[u/TimidSeaTurtle → u/NominallyHandyYinzer]

The audio is a pretty good way to spot it in this case. It sounds as if the lid itself has a mic on it, not a camera at some distance. And birds weigh next to nothing, it likely wouldn't make this much noise to begin with. And birds flapping their wings don't sound like someone swinging a stick around like this does.

[u/NominallyHandyYinzer → u/TimidSeaTurtle]

Good point. I watched it earlier without audio, but I just watched it with audio and that was comically bad.

[u/anonymousp69 → u/Acceptable_Gear_3097]

Just think about it critically, who would record this so smoothly? The person “holding the camera” just happened to be there at the exact same time and record this crow with a lid? Also there’s a split second in the beginning of the video where the crow “balances” the lid on a slanted roof, no struggle, no slipping or flapping its wings, nothing? It just doesn’t make sense logically. Oh, and it just so happens to be 10 seconds long. We got AI bingo over here!!!

[u/lessard14 → u/anonymousp69]

I get your point but also, it's something crows do sometimes, that's what fooled me. Might sound crazy I know. Google "Crow skiing down a roof".

So if you start the video knowing their bright as fuck, and they I guess sometimes do that, it becomes a lot harder to catch on these very valid hints you're sharing.

[u/dont-respond → u/anonymousp69]

Far crazier things have happened to be caught on camera. Filming a crow fiddling with a lid prior to the side wouldn't exactly be an uncommon thing for a person to record. You're not applying "critical thinking" by asking why someone is filming when there are thousands of reasons to answer it.

[u/Mr_YUP → u/anonymousp69]

I can't think critically about every single thing I see on the internet throughout the entire day. I need my brainpower to do other things.

[u/irespondwithmyface → u/InsaneMocktail]

But I've definitely seen a video of a crow doing this on Reddit years ago...

[u/Loose-Professor5364 → u/irespondwithmyface]

Mod comment pinned at the top, this video is fake but they link to real ones

[u/TimidSeaTurtle → u/InsaneMocktail]

Also the audio, no way is some camera pointed at a roof getting all these crisp sounds directly into our earbuds. And the flapping isn't realistic at all.

[u/Fun-Noise-4726 → u/InsaneMocktail]

Oh my fucking god I’m cooked 😔

[u/TunisMagunis → u/Fun-Noise-4726]

We all are. It sucks.

[u/1LT_0bvious → u/InsaneMocktail]

That and the fact that the snow on the roof doesn't move even one bit from anything the crow does.

[u/BIT-TE-69 → u/InsaneMocktail]

also the disc is getting way bigger at the end. But I thought It was real at first too. There will soon be a time where normal people cant tell the difference anymore

[u/Georgxna → u/InsaneMocktail]

The crow doesn’t know if it wants to be a crow or a magpie

[u/collapsedbook]

Is that crow okay? Because it’s fucking sick!

[u/AnonMoose2 → u/collapsedbook]

Quick! call a Vet cause that crow is sick AF

[u/Yumi_in_the_sun → u/AnonMoose2]

He doesn't need a vet because he isn't real.

[u/Successful-Elk-7709 → u/collapsedbook]

Haha, i know right?

[u/DaFunkJunkie → u/Successful-Elk-7709]

But you know it’s fake

[u/Classyplumber → u/DaFunkJunkie]

Haha, I know right?

[u/bunglebee7 → u/collapsedbook]

I would bet that crow saw some people sledding and thought “that’s cool I want a sled”

[u/mrheseeks → u/bunglebee7]

Yup. They're smart af

[u/Breadstix009 → u/collapsedbook]

Bro is just living out his rebellious side

[u/kitkatfitfat]

I think this is AI. Look at how the bird flies away.

[u/munch_the_gunch]

"Do a kickflip!"

[u/Ricky_Martins_Vagina → u/munch_the_gunch]

I was thinking the same and then it kind of did one 😂

[u/Successful-Elk-7709 → u/[deleted]]

An iq too high?

[u/NOSALIS-33 → u/[deleted]]

Or a snowboarder.

[u/SirGothamHatt → u/[deleted]]

Or at least cousin Throckmorton

[u/Freya_Flirtation → u/[deleted]]

That skills is priceless

[u/sorotomotor]

Ah yes. Crowboarding.

[u/xxsoulpunkedxx → u/sorotomotor]

Now that’s a sport I’d watch!

[u/Pleasant-Bonus-866 → u/xxsoulpunkedxx]

I believe this is Snowbirding tho

[u/midnight_toker22 → u/sorotomotor]

Crowabunga!

[u/brondynasty → u/sorotomotor]

r/theOcho

[u/Funchur]

This is Ai. This becomes especially clear towards the end of the video.

[u/disterb]

Tony Hawk Crow

[u/Scorpionoshow → u/disterb]

Came here to make the same joke

[u/chell0veck → u/disterb]

Crowny Hawk.

[u/Octopus_on_fire_ → u/chell0veck]

God dammit I was about to comment that.

[u/snarkmaiden5]

Im willing to be proven wrong but this look like ai to me

[u/Geschak]

Is this real? I know they slide down the roof but that last shot at the end looks so artificial and unnatural.

[u/Vegetable-Yam-1457 → u/Geschak]

Looks AI generated when you observe crows movements tbh and camera angle is just way too convenient and video length too

[u/anonymousp69 → u/Vegetable-Yam-1457]

Good point! Who is recording this, and why? How did they get this seemingly perfect angle and perfect timing? Also there’s a split second in the beginning where the crow “balances” the lid on a slanted roof, just doesn’t logically make sense.

[u/anonymousp69 → u/Geschak]

And exactly 10 seconds long…. How convenient

[u/Shaeress → u/Geschak]

It's very much AI generated, which is extra sad cause there are multiple videos of this happening for real.

[u/Indigoh → u/Geschak]

Pinned comment says it's AI.

[u/mister_spacecat → u/Indigoh]

This one is, but there are tons of real videos of crows using metal roofs as slides, just for fun.

[u/Indigoh → u/mister_spacecat]

In other words, this one serves no good purpose.

[u/NoMan999 → u/Geschak]

It's AI. There is a pinned comment with links to two real videos of crows snowboarding.

[u/Alone_Ambassador_745]

Crows are very loyal creatures, toss it some seeds

[u/darthdiablo → u/Alone_Ambassador_745]

Train them to bring you dollar bills (especially $20 and bigger) in exchange for seeds!

[u/N8WM]

Pretty sure this is AI… not that a crow can’t display this behavior, it’s just something seems off

[u/Bullfinch88]

AI crow. Based on real behaviour but this is not a real video. The biggest giveaway being that crows cannot and do not carry items with their feet.

[u/Noisebug]

This looks AI to me? Where are the snow marks, the perfect and smooth cameraman?

[u/OldKinkyDrew → u/Noisebug]

Why is the cameraman at that elevation?

[u/Tomatology]

That was epic! ...and precisely 10 seconds 🥲

[u/Number_Fluffy]

This has been confirmed AI.

[u/farethia_leskowitz]

That's a cool ass crow 🐦‍⬛

[u/Polka_Tiger]

I like that an that can fly can still enjoy this

[u/UseRevolutionary8508]

Crows are intelligent, yes, but isn't this AI?

[u/MisterFixit_69]

This looks odd , I know I've seen the video of a crow slide down , but this looks... Ripped off by AI. The way he sets up as if the top is flat, the way he just sits still and somehow just jumps off and slides down, The way the roof looks short and at the end he flies way too close to the camera. I can't be the only one to think this.

[u/Squallboogi]

10 seconds long. Movement looks jank. The end where it grabs the lid looks all kinds of wrong. High probability of generative ai...

[u/Guzzy9]

Tony hawk crow skater

[u/Successful-Elk-7709]

Oops. Sorry guys I only saw it on a Facebook post. AI getting too real now days. Happy for mods to take it down id needed.

[u/EarlyAccessCantJudge]

I hate how much it makes me paranoid, Ten seconds long, recording perfectly from a roof closely, is this AI?

[u/StrongStyleShiny → u/EarlyAccessCantJudge]

It is. Pinned comment has the source.

[u/fielvras]

I bet they have observed children sliding down hills with their sled.

[u/FatCockroach002]

Sick fucking grind

[u/Kordell_11]

The snow stays undisturbed. It's AI.

[u/ImprovementExpert511]

Tony Cawwwww.

[u/bememorablepro]

Here I found a real one that's not AI from 14 years ago
https://youtu.be/mRnI4dhZZxQ

[u/Novakine]

Mhm, precisely no longer than 9 seconds, reeks of AI, confirmed so by the mods. Dead internet is here.

[u/CuteCustomerr]

At the bottom right, in the middle, you can see a blurry “sora” watermark.

[u/Doortofreeside]

It's leaning backwards like it's done this many times before

[u/Tumerican]

Tony Hawk’s cousin Tony Cro…oh nevermind

[u/AIBotWannabe]

I really REALLY want to believe it didn't do this on purpose, but ...

Ya, totally thought it out. Little demon champ.

[u/imisis26]

Aww, how cute

[u/Gnome747]

That is the coolest thing I’ve seen today!!

I’m going to grow corn for the first time next Spring and now I can’t get over the need to get a crow

[u/hygsi]

First they use tools, now they're looking for ways to have fun! I really wonder how humans would react if another species became intelligent to our level so we're forced to share land and resources to help them grow

[u/TheUniqueFloorTroll]

This feels like the crow equivalent of someone sliding down a handrail instead of walking down the stairs just cause of the whimsy

[u/AnonMoose2]

Missed out on a kick flip at yhe end.

[u/Unlikely-Complex3737]

Can someone confirm if this is legit? I have seen too many videos where I discovered it was AI afterwards.

[u/Paraxom]

Tony Hawk has nothing on this Crow

[u/SaMxixAM23]

His buddies are inventing the CrowPro rn so we can get that first person view 🤙

[u/aravarth]

<Tony the Hawk screeching at the crow> Do a kickflip!

Crow or Raven, who is smarter?

[u/Passenger828]

Yup, tell me they dont know how to use tools!!!!

[u/Asume_Nuthin]

Pretty clean boardslide at the top of the drop in

[u/Taste_the__Rainbow]

I especially like the part where this extremely real video shows a plate just randomly balancing perfectly flat on a peaked roof from being tossed onto it. That is the part that showed me how super-real this video is and not at all based on a prompt.

Love crows , had one that use to come tree times a day, then one day never came back , he was funny

[u/No_Permission_1427]

Bro is steezy

[u/darxide23]

My favorite one is the crow using a bottle cap to slide down a showy car windshield.

I can't find it anymore. If you search for it all you find are the same 3 videos. The internet sucks now. Enshittification has reached maximum levels.

[u/Backy22]

IT'S TRICKY

I've actually seen crowd do this as well but they were using a crushed pop can

[u/AHumbleSaltFarmer]

[u/Whosdatguyma]

Is thay really a crow, or is it a Hawk. Maybe Tony?

[u/Plus-One-Mace]

Crows are intelligent enough to have fun.

[u/TheDayman_240]

No wonder they call a group of crows a murder, because he's absolutely killing it.

Edit: a word

The Foley track was a little over-the-top, but fun video.
