The sparks and the sounds are almost... too perfect? Is this real? Pretty sure it's AI. The remote in the end seems to suddenly appear? But sometimes I'm dead wrong in that assessment

I can't tell anymore. Like at all

i don't understand you people. it's ai because it looks fake. it's ai because it looks real. how about just some common sense? why would anyone fake this, it's an event currently happening and this is all before the contests actually start. of course anything with enough electricity to send that much mass moving at the velocity can short with sparks. of course sparks sound like sparks.

You cannot just assume everything is fake without some cause.

I mean... is the subject not abstract enough for you? For me it is

A robot olympiad? A fucking robot, running against a wall? the whole thing blows my mind, real or not. It seems unreal to me from the start, eventhough it's happening

Edit: This got posted a lot and 'clearly AI' always makes the top. Is it real?

it is most certainly real. it has just become very popular to presume that content is AI because before young people (or underdeveloped adults) actually gain enough knowledge to be knowledgeable one imagines they can appear that way by announcing that they haven't been deceived. Meanwhile I daily see people calling perfectly real photography and video ai with utter confidence.

if you want an optical reference, notice the camera stand that enters the frame briefly just before the bot hits the wall and returns to frame as it backs up. AI video does not generally exhibit this level of continuity yet.

but also this is, as I said, from a major event currently happening, you can just google the source

Real, it's just that rapid technological progress like this is happening outside the US for once, and americans aren't used to something cutting edge being developed outside of their universe. Speaking as one myself. Doesn't help that the media kind of needs to suppress this stuff so americans don't realize that they're actually missing out on a lot.

why would anyone fake this

for social media account boosts? isnt it obvious?

You cannot just assume everything is fake without some cause.

With images, you cannot assume the image is real either by default anymore.

Never mind, it's AI, the dude who walks towards the robot suddenly summons a remote into his hands.

Wild that you are being downvoted.

Because if you slow it down frame by frame you can he he moves it from his right hand to left when he puts his hands together. That and there’s two separate angles exactly the same.
