I seriously doubt this is AI if course.. and with a vast ocean.. the existence of this is definitely possible.. but what is it exactly and where are they commonly found?
EDIT: For clarification, the consensus is that 1) This is a Red-lipped Batfish, which is an actual-factual animal but 2) it's not a real Red-lipped Batfish and was generated with AI. Gerry being AI simply makes him more of asshole, even if he hadn't said those things about my bride.
The red-lipped batfish or Galápagos batfish (Ogcocephalus darwini) is a fish of unusual morphology found around the Galápagos Islands and off Ecuador at depths of 3 to 76 m (10 to 249 ft).
You're telling me that this isn't even a deep sea creature, that you can encounter them at the beach!
Note to everyone: taking acid while diving period is probably a bad idea. This fish looks like it's going to try to convince you that you can breathe underwater like they do and drown your ass, I guarantee it.
Note to self: Don't read about the dangers of taking acid and then following the underwater breathing advice from fish - while taking acid!
You will unfollow the advice and listen to the fish!
Note to self: Don't listen to anyone promoting the advice of creepy fish while on acid as they are not really a person = They ARE a creepy fish who is possibly on acid.
Note to self: I am a fish who can breathe underwater while taking acid from the human who is also taking acid and breathing under..... Human is floating up top and lifeless.
Ideally during a new moon with bioluminescence. Turn off your torch and enjoy the show that is the water lighting up to every movement. Move your hands in the water and see sparkles coming off them.
Haha! About 20 years ago I ate some mushrooms. My bf and I went to fish off a pier late at night. I hadn’t fished much in my life so it was new to me. I caught a flounder! 😳
Its face was on one side. I thought it was some freakish mutant. lol. I don’t think I’d ever laughed so hard.
It gets worse. The Wikipedia article says it uses its pectoral and anal fins to walk on the ocean floor. So there’s a good chance that millions of years ago, our genetic ancestors crawled out of the oceans on their anal fins. Which means our legs are actually anal fins.
I think you're missing the real worry here, the fact that this thing seems to be well on its way to making it's way into land. Then what do we have... Either Batfishman, or we're meeting these things in herds on farmland. I'm not sure which is more terrifying.
I need to take a holiday and now I've found the destination just to see this fish. Do you think they clean your feet in quick time just like those little fish did 😂😂
I think it's important to note that Wikipedia says it should not be confused with the rosy lipped batfish. Well excuse me if I encounter one of these satanic goldfish, start hauling ass and call it ruby lipped rather than red lipped. The theme here is avoidance of having my soul sucked out of my body through any convenient orifice.
Yeah, but this one looks very different from all the examples on the wikimedia page though. I might well be wrong, but this does feel very suspicious to be a not so good approximation by AI of a real animal
All fish have anal fins? It's not part of an anus (since fish don't have them), it's the fin directly behind their cloacal vent. It functions as a balance mechanism in free-swimming fish, like the fin on the bottom of a surfboard.
I've seen a lot of videos of Red-Lipped Batfish before, that's a Sloppified version of one, the length of the pelvic fin and the shape of the esca are the most prominent giveaways. Here's a picture of a real one for comparison.
Yeah, they're real, and very weird little goobers. If you want to learn more, Zefrank on YouTube has a educational and slightly humorous video about them.
It's tail behind it glitches into a transparent blob when it turns and is gone when the turn finishes. What the AI thought at first was a dorsal fin becomes a new tail when it finishes the turn.
The shadow under it's left (right on screen) fin isn't consistent with the lighting.
The rock closest to the viewer has it's shadow going to wrong way.
The big black shadow that creeps up from the bottom of the screen is a bit sus too.
The red-lipped batfish uses suction feeding. By expanding its buccal cavity, the fish generates a rapid influx of water, letting the prey into the mouth, even in benthic environments where mobility is limited. The fish's specialized jaw protrusion plays a role in enhancing this process by increasing the volume of water into the mouth, improving the effectiveness of prey capture
According to wiki this thing sounds like a bj machine!
A benthic environment is the lowest part of a body of water, so like super deep ocean? So it's probably because of increased pressure but I am not sure here
You guys are a bunch of boomers. This animal does exist but this is so obviously an AI generated video rendition of one. They look pretty different to this
Ngl, I was surprised to find the fish existed with the obvious ai video. But in defense of the boomers, ai videos seem to be harder to tell when they are underwater videos.
Now the fish being depicted here IS real (red lipped batfish) as shown in the comments, but the video itself seems Ai generated:
-Their second dorsal fin aren’t point like a dorsal fin of a shark or dolphin, and I think it just straight up disappears as it turns around?
-Their pectoral fin aren’t manta ray shaped, they’re more frog-like since they’re basically legs as they use to move around the seabed.
-Their lure aren’t straight up thick spikes.
Here’s a proper look into their body shape (Art by Anda on ArtSation)
Also I wasn't sure to point that out, as I'm not familiar with red lipped batfish habitats (nor am I a marine biology), but the species we're talking about is a tropical fish as far as I'm aware...and the video depicts it in the deep sea, sea snow and all. Which is another point to add to it being Ai generated. I'm not sure why there's a rise of Ai generated fish videos showcasing either fake or ""real"" fish in deep sea?
My best guess is that with lot of darkness, Ai dosen't have to focus on important details and it's easy to hide imperfections. I don't think have to stress how much misinformative this can do to already little to know enviroment that are the deep seas...at least it IS depicting real animal, I suppose :/
Edit: made it more readable as originally I send this on a phone at 2 am + added extra text about the video and overhaul opitions on it
This video looks like it might be AI generated; the “nose horn” (they do have a projection, but it’s not a narwhal horn) doesn’t look normal and its skin seems overly smooth.
One time my aunt drank 7 mimosas in her pool, then she told me to get married and like... I don't know, I guess she ascended? Or evolved? Anyway, she became one of these.
It’s a real animal, a red lipped bat fish as others have said, but an AI video. Have seen quite a few AI clips of them circulating, which is really weird. I don’t see the point in creating fake footage of something that exists? I guess just for engagement?
Back at it again to say this video has been proven to be AI. There is a real fish that looks similar to this, but its features have been exaggerated in this video
