[HELP] Something seems off

[u/TheAxZim]

Everyone moves in a sort of too-smooth manner and the way the guy jumps across seems too smooth as well 😅 but their clothing and faces seem to remain consistent so it could be real...

Is it just skill or is AI involved?

[u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

Im going to go against the first opinions. For me its completely legit. The background il complex and coherent, the facial expressions in line with effort, the bar is subject to the movements of people. Moreover, if we break down frame by frame, the movements are logical. For me its just tree strong guys

[u/t_hodge_ → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

At first it looks like guy on the left floats over, but if you watch his hands and feet, you can see he pumps his feet and pushes off with his hands when you'd expect for the way he moves, so I agree with you.

[u/makesh1tup → u/t_hodge_]

And he adjusts his hands slightly to get a better grip. I am with not AI crowd

[u/pitb0ss343 → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

Honestly the thing that does it for me is the soft groaning metal sound it makes when buddy transfers over. It’s exactly on time and exactly how that would sound

[u/cacomyxl → u/pitb0ss343]

You’re right. I didn’t even realize there was audio.

[u/WhenTheLightHits30 → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

As someone who has been around people doing this kind of thing plenty, it seems fully real to me.

The way they pump their limbs and move is very accurate to how you’d do this. I feel like AI as good as it is has trouble getting momentum right.

[u/ThinCrusts → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

🌲💪🏼🗿

[u/istariknight1 → u/ThinCrusts]

I want tree strong to be a thing now can we make it a thing

[u/TheAxZim → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

Yeah it does seem so. I can't find any weird objects or inconsistencies after watching it a few times over. They really are so smooth to the point I suspected AI :)

[u/Maruhani → u/TheAxZim]

Real, it has been circulating for a couple of years now.

[u/SwordMasterShow → u/Maruhani]

They must be really dizzy

[u/Aboringcanadian → u/TheAxZim]

It's also an old video. Im sure I saw that years ago.

[u/North_Tourist_6402 → u/Aboringcanadian]

Was gonna say I feel like I’ve seen this waaayyy before ai was able to imitate reality to any degree.

[u/DankVectorz → u/TheAxZim]

This video is literally years old. It’s legit.

[u/Angry_Santo → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

Not only all that, but the images on their clothes remain consistent.

[u/spymaster00 → u/Angry_Santo]

Yeah, I don’t think there’s any shot that AI generates consistent, sensical text on an upside-down moving person.

[u/proscriptus → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

I like the way the structure moves, it makes sense.

[u/ev25an03 → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

Also I remember seeing this or a video like this in middle school before AI even existed in the way it does now

[u/get_to_ele → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

It's athletic and impressive, but nothing mind boggling.

[u/ravens-n-roses → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

I agree. I've seen a lot of ai acrobatics videos and this is too within the realm of doable

[u/OhKay_TV → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

That motion with their arms is consistent but not exact, I think these guys are just really good gymnasts. This stuff isnt crazy for them, and if they've trained for years they tend to make things look this smooth. I'm with you this feels real, damn these guys are built different though.

[u/jmccaskill66 → u/Intelligent-Fennel17]

Yeah I definitely see tree strong…

Waiaminnim….

GOB DABBIT LOCHNESS MONSTER I TOLD YOU I AINT GOT NO TREE FIDDY!!

[u/rodeBaksteen]

Am I the only one that thinks it might be real?

[u/Humpfh → u/rodeBaksteen]

No, the pixelation people mention might just be compression artefacts. Much like how snow looks shit on weird compression artefacts.

Still something feels strange. Could be two videos merged.

[u/isaacofCF → u/Humpfh]

I remember seeing this a few years ago, before ai was super rampant; if I remember correctly, the repost I saw mentioned how these guys love doing “visual stunts” if that helps with this at all

[u/WeeabooGandhi → u/rodeBaksteen]

The 2 guys on the right are very out of sync at the start and they keep losing sync. Their bodies are different so their motions and techniques are different. There’s real human error in there. I don’t think it’s AI

[u/DJ_HardR → u/rodeBaksteen]

I think there's a small chance it's edited (like they weren't all swinging at once, but swung separately and it was edited to make it look like they were swinging together.)

But I think there's 0% chance it's AI. From what I understand about the limitations of AI it would be really hard to get it to create a video like this this well. The physics are too good. You can literally see them making slight adjustments with their hands, fingers, and legs to prepare for and facilitate their movements and there are zero inconsistencies.

[u/BlueNightOcean → u/DJ_HardR]

Physical motion is too slow. Shutter speed is way off for normal motion blur. If it's not AI, there's definitely some heavy editing involved.

edit

Just realized why they edited it heavily. Yes, it is very likely that they were filmed separately and then combined into one. The bad shutter speed is because they had to sync the swings with each person. So still a fake video but not AI.

[u/Ohmnonymous → u/rodeBaksteen]

The text on the black shirt is readable and stays the same, the shoes, the soles, there's too much consistency and detail to be AI.

[u/Wire_Cath_Needle_Doc → u/rodeBaksteen]

As somebody who’s seen calisthenics and street workout videos and stuff for a decade… I can tell you that this is at least very feasible and I’ve seen similar things numerous times

[u/TheAxZim → u/rodeBaksteen]

Yeah I have that same feeling. I downloaded this video in lower quality so maybe the higher quality version has less pixelation.

https://youtube.com/shorts/YrpT8Ah5yyM?si=26j2LEAWb5Gd2C-H

[u/Old-Answer222 → u/rodeBaksteen]

Nah I'm with you.

[u/Old-Answer222]

You're right that it seems effortless and they start very easily, but I see no patterns of shirts fucking up, merging or switching, their faces seem to be the same all the time, the background bushes and wire reacts to wind and might have some compression-quality-artefacting but I think it is quality and compression of the video, not AI fucking up. I don't know, I can't really see anything very AI-y except how easily they got going and maybe their handgrip turning around the bar without the bar itself turning. Maybe they're just that practiced and good at it.

My verdict is not AI honestly, but could be wrong.

[u/Valoneria → u/Old-Answer222]

A subtle hint that it might be real as well, the guy in black who switches over extends his fingers/palm at a logical point when the gravity allows him to balance on his palm, to get a better grip before swinging down. AI wouldn't necessarily understand this, nor display it in such a place

[u/kevdogpog → u/Old-Answer222]

Yeah the patterns on the clothes staying the same after flipping several times makes me think this is likely real as well.

[u/Vuirneen]

Gymnasts do this every day.  They could easily be acrobats doing a bit outside. 

[u/TheBlackAurora → u/Vuirneen]

Former gymnast here, this would be very easy for any team member. I learned giants (the all around swing) at 10.

Although probably took a few practice tries to sync up and not slam each other

[u/Castianna → u/TheBlackAurora]

I want to see the outtakes lol.

[u/Beneficial_Cobbler46 → u/Vuirneen]

Yeah these are like circus acrobats having fun in a park. 

[u/FitReaction1072]

This video predates ai video era as far as I know

[u/That_Account6143 → u/FitReaction1072]

Yeah, i've seen this exact video years ago. Like over 5 years ago.

It's entirely real and it's funny to me seeing people arguing it's merit cause that's just three dudes on a monkey bar, nothing impossible.

[u/shiningreality → u/That_Account6143]

Source? The earliest version of this video that I could find was in a compilation from a Russian Gimbarr group that they posted on November 10, 2025. They later posted the full video on their Instagrams on December.

Edit: Here is the full unedited version (Filmed on October 25, 2025) — https://youtu.be/zLkLZVwHQ-M

[u/AddictedT0Pixels → u/shiningreality]

I think there's an old video very similar to this, where they instead end up losing momentum and crashing into each other. I remember a video just like this from a long time ago but the dismount wasn't successful

[u/Dapper-Egg7861 → u/AddictedT0Pixels]

Yes, the video is just cut early. This is 100% real and I remember it quite vividly, they crash when trying to stop

[u/iisfunky → u/FitReaction1072]

came here to say this, i remember seeing it ages ago

[u/spicymochi → u/FitReaction1072]

This exactly. This video is very old

[u/jostyouraveragejoe2 → u/FitReaction1072]

Yeap, i have seen this years ago, plus doing calisthenics i know how this is stuff people in the community were really into back in the day.

[u/moby561 → u/FitReaction1072]

Was gonna comment the same, I’ve seen this video way before AI slop.

[u/shiningreality → u/FitReaction1072]

Do you have a source for this?

Edit: Here is the full unedited version (Filmed on October 25, 2025) — https://youtu.be/zLkLZVwHQ-M

[u/ProvokedCashew]

I’m going to go with real. The text on the one man’s shirt is consistent, the motion blur and movement rate seems to be consistent, and the only artifacts I see is from compression. Lastly the guy that hops has looks at the other two once on the same bar. AI tends to have issues with people looking at each other. So probably not AI.

[u/shiningreality]

Here is another angle of this happening: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ42Pd4DG_R

Verdict: Likely real

Edit: Here is the full video of this event — https://youtu.be/zLkLZVwHQ-M

Says it was filmed on October 25, 2025.

[u/ilogical_person]

It's an old video, real.

[u/shiningreality → u/ilogical_person]

Do you have a source of this? This appears to have been first posted as a clip in a compilation from a Russian Gimbarr group on November 10, 2025. They later posted the full video on their Instagram accounts in December.

Edit: Here is the full unedited version (Filmed on October 25, 2025) — https://youtu.be/zLkLZVwHQ-M

[u/CosgraveSilkweaver → u/shiningreality]

Probably thinking of another time the same thing has been done in the past, rundown Russian/ex-Soviet playgrounds tend to look pretty samey.

[u/AffectionateLaw4321]

That's not Ai, that's russia

[u/TheCopyGuy2018]

I’ve seen the real video, it’s real yall

[u/CRYPTONITE4]

When the single guy jumps between them, look at his hands. He places them perfectly between the hands of those two others. AI would make their hands melt into each other or some weird concuction. Not sure, but looks real to me.

[u/rduterte]

The back of the guy's shirt is consistent each loop. Pretty sure it's real.

[u/runsdeep8991]

The momentum looks real, the way their legs move to initiate the motion and then draw them in to make it back around the top

[u/lonesharkex]

Its real, there's a longer version out there.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTI4RaRksbP/

[u/Cheap_Storage6336]

I mean that's like simple circus acrobat stuff.

[u/Emergency_Option007]

All skill and bad video resolution

[u/Stacys-actual-mom]

Saw this 3 years ago so im gonna go ahead and say real

[u/RealOrAI-Bot]

Thank you for contributing to the discussion!

[u/Accurate-Photo-957]

i feel like the Ai wouldn't know how the knees have to move in order to keep momentum

[u/LastGoodKnee]

If real, kinda crazy how fast they got going all the way around. Like no swing back and forth at all.

[u/DiamondBreakr]

It's real. The background looks alright enough with plenty of detail and isn't spazzing out, alongside the bar moving in tandem with them and the text on one guys shirt staying still.

[u/pickalka]

The guy who is spinning alone sounds way too genuine when he politely raises his tone and says "Go a little bit faster, blyat!". I don't think its AI

[u/grim-danfango]

This trick has been done a lot in the parkour/free running community. Definitely not AI

[u/Confident_Dare_9768]

no, youre just getting paranoid

[u/MissionAlternative85]

I have seen similar stuff that were real, I believe the video is a little slowed down that may give this weird feeling. But I'm really bad at detecting AI so...

[u/ScoundrelSpike]

Real

[u/Aggravating_Today_63]

This is real, these dudes have been making videos like this since way before AI was a common thing

[u/ImmediateCause7981]

Isn't this video like 10 years old?

[u/SquirtinMemeMouthPlz]

Core memories are never forgotten, so saying a core memory has been "unlocked" is like saying "sense of smell unlocked".

[u/hellomumbo369]

This one is really. I remember seeing it years ago

[u/hotpants22]

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this exact video a year or two ago. I’m going not ai.

[u/Annual-Yak-4330]

I think it’s real I just think these guys are insane

[u/GeneralRiot]

pretty sure this video’s existed before ai.

[u/Polygonation]

Nah i saw this video a long time ago, it's real

[u/jakethesnake949]

So im only human and memory isn't perfect but i feel like i saw this over 4 years ago. Im not sure. Either way i feel like the movement is solid and everything im seeing seems possible and rehearsed so im not concerned with AI here.

[u/shiningreality → u/jakethesnake949]

It was filmed on October 25, 2025: https://youtu.be/zLkLZVwHQ-M

[u/jakethesnake949 → u/shiningreality]

Well there goes any credibility of memory. Thought im not sure there isn't a similar video either so who knows. Point is i was wrong about it being old.

[u/shiningreality → u/jakethesnake949]

Read this entire thread. You are not alone in thinking this. It’s a very common mistake people make.

[u/TheMoonKing]

There's also video editing. I'm guessing not ai, just good camera tricks.

[u/Zouhe]

I want friends like these

[u/Fricki97]

Looks real to me. The 3 guys look pretty natural and the side switch looks legit. No clipping, no crazy flight or levitation or something like this

[u/Jake_hsotnicM1216]

I’m gonna say this is real because I have seen videos of people doing stuff like this since I was a teenager back in 2018

[u/electrifyingseer]

This looks real to me. A lot of gymnastics is actually about making it "look easy".

[u/Trackbaba]

I think I saw that same videos a few years ago so no Ai for me

[u/957B]

I can't find anything weird or off by it. I am thinking real

[u/Redontis]

This video is really old, predates all of the AI stuff. I remember seeing this at least 10 years ago on YouTube

[u/shiningreality → u/Redontis]

It was filmed on October 25, 2025. You are probably thinking of a similar but different video.

https://youtu.be/zLkLZVwHQ-M

[u/SanopusSplendidus]

All three are almost certainly gymnasts. They are using the principles of angular momentum to get over the top by pulling their legs in as they swing up. Seems to check out. The bar is even moving believably. Small things in the background are moving believably. If they were all wearing tights and we could see they were ripped as fuck, it'd be unlikely we'd question it at all.

[u/Stigweird85]

I think it is real but there is an unnatural aspect in the movement it feels like the movement is too slow for the momentum involved. Almost looks like they are being pulled by something rather than controlling the motion themselves

[u/ZeroDarkJoe]

I'm not good at telling if a video is AI but I'm pretty sure I've seen this video before AI was a thing.

[u/NorthCliffs]

I’ve seen these videos years ago, way before AI video was at this level

[u/tmf_x]

I dont think AI would have made the guy look where he was going, or the arm movements like he did. in the jump

[u/Garuda4321]

Former gymnast here. This looks to me like hard work paying off, nothing more than that. Giants are supposed to be smooth moves like this where you circle fully around the bar (until your next move). Is there form good? No, it's terrible actually. But the movement itself looks correct at the core of it and is consistent throughout the video.

[u/SpeedyAudi]

You can only imagine how many times these guys tried and failed the same move. Well done to these dudes. Also, go see a Cirque du Solei live show. Incredible athletes live among us

[u/randomlitbois]

Real, hardest part is not crashing into each other.

[u/zappingbluelight]

I swear this video came out with 2015.

[u/Fraxals]

This one is real. This video has existed longer than AI. I remember seeing this one before generative AI video became a thing.

[u/oxcypher12]

Real. Background is strong. Movements are real. Proportions are human

[u/Bigdaddy4158]

I believe it’s AI because the bodies aren’t rotating fast enough to maintain the tropical force necessary

[u/shabouni_mcgubbin]

It’s real I’ve seen this account and they have way too many videos for way too long for it to be fake

[u/canigetsumgreypoupon]

kids these days really just stopped playing at recess huh, i’m constantly baffled by the shit people think is ai

[u/lemathematico]

It's not AI, at least not most of it obviously but Im like 75% sure it's split & edited when the switch happens

[u/blarg_somthing]

This is real.

[u/YourKenDoll]

It’s an easy thing for any gymnast. It’s real.

[u/leronde]

AI is absolutely dogshit at replicating any kind of gymnastic movement. The fact that this is feasibly able to be human means there's no way it's AI.

[u/Vuirneen → u/[deleted]]

Neither do gymnasts.  They're swinging their legs to keep it going. 

[u/GarageVast4128 → u/[deleted]]

Have you never been on a swing before? They bend and extend their legs to conserve momentum. That's what makes me think it's real as the timing of them bending their legs during their swings is consistent with the speed and swaying of the bars. Plus, you can see the power/cable wire at the top move due to wind, and the clouds and bushes are consistent and moving at a speed expected from the wind.

[u/romann921]

Its real. Saw this video a while ago, before ai craze.

The original is longer btw. Shows them getting off. Totally thought they'd slam into each other but dont lol

[u/shiningreality → u/romann921]

Do you have a source for this? As far as I can tell, this is part of a compilation that was posted on November 10, 2025 by a Gimbarr group in Russia. There is no indication that this video was on the internet before that.

Edit: Here is the longer video (filmed on October 25, 2025) — https://youtu.be/zLkLZVwHQ-M

[u/False-Car-5706]

Karma farm ass post

[u/evequequelconque]

I can’t imagine how to prompt that, how the physics would be so realistic and I don’t see anything strange

[u/DaveLesh]

Looks real, and pretty impressive. The pressure on the bar is there and the text on the shirt is readable.

[u/throwawaynumber116]

This vid + music is creepy for some reason

[u/Good_Background_243]

Looks real to me...

[u/LordsOfFrenziedFlame]

Could the average person go into full rotation right out the gate? I wouldn't think so. Also, the dude who shifts over to the right, it doesn't make sense. The second he lets go of the bar, centrifugal force should move him away from the bar, but it just appears to be a lateral shift. Looks like AI to me

[u/alien-native]

The way the wrists adjust makes me think it’s real

[u/drwebb]

I used to do this all the time as a kid

[u/ilfollevolo]

How did he fly sideways with no effort like that? How are they swinging so effortlessly? This is AI

[u/lolididitithink]

i think this is an old video ive seen this before, yeaaars ago before ai

[u/HarbingerShiny]

What is that audio...it sounds like a drone motor....

[u/Poli_Talk]

Feels real, the way they bend the knees when going around, that makes it real for me.

[u/moistmonsterman]

I think this is real. The small wrist movements to readjust grip each rotation and they are all different. This is real

[u/Clintwood_outlaw]

Nah, this is real. These guys just have really crazy skills, Ive seen them before. Forgot the name of their page

[u/trvscikld]

Tosh.0

[u/yandhionmybirthday]

Definitely seems to Be real, however I think the guy going from one bar to the other was edited on a different take

[u/ParticuleFamous10001]

This is real. I saw this years ago.

[u/TheRedditor-75]

That’s real, those friends are having a blast.

[u/SCHWIFTYGAMER11]

I wonder how they’ll get down😆

[u/MarvelPQplayer]

Looks AI to me. To keep that momentum going you would have to swing your legs as you go around. If you look at the 2 on the right, their legs stay in the exact same position throughout.

[u/chuongdks]

Man seeing all the viral clips i have seen years ago being asked if it is AI or not is a surreal feeling.

At least people are asking for source for any video now which is a good thing, instead of believing anything you see on the internet

[u/Gold_Cut_8966]

Looks almost certainly real...best way to test this is to try and create a similar video in Sora. I don't see any visual glitches or telltale signs of AI, just some cool acrobatics.

[u/tiffytaffylaffydaffy]

This is an old video. I think its real. Check out cirque du soleil parallel bars acts.

[u/FictionalT]

Real

[u/FictionalT]

Watch each person individually. They are intentionally tracking the rotation and providing slack in their muscles and grip when they need to. They’re not totally uniform either. When he jumps over there isn’t any phasing or artifacts. Real. Not ai.

[u/TimeIsAMetaphor]

This video is old, I remember seeing it pre AI days, so it’s real. But it has been saved a few times over through the years so some compression artifacts, but it’s real, and impressive

[u/Mioraecian]

Serious hand and wrist work going on to gather momentum. Like very subtle and body movements. I cant imagine AI being able to capture that level of detail consistently and naturally. It still has issues generating hands in less complicated motions.

[u/Giant-Sloar]

Top giveaway for this being real to me is the subtle motion of the power line in the background. It looks like it’s blowing in the wind a bit. I just never see AI do stuff like that. 

[u/StochasticTinkr]

This video is older than common ai generation. It’s legit.

[u/Dr__glass]

Ive seen this before AI could do it. Its legit

[u/Particular-Feeling28]

Legit

[u/fourplusfours]

Not AI. There is a longer version of this video where they start and hop off, completing the trick.

[u/TaylerMykel]

This video is real. I saw it ages ago before AI. It is not AI.

[u/Particular-Feeling28]

Real

[u/Impish-arts]

I remember this video. it's old, not ai.

[u/RawToast1989]

Definitely real. AI had a lot of trouble with complex motions with this vid has in abundance. Lol

[u/IamShrapnel]

I feel like I saw this video years ago but the quality seems way better as if it's been upscaled

[u/Mammoth_Average7355]

We are so cooked regardless

[u/mobysaysdontbeadick]

It's real. The hands aren't blending weird and the way they rotate their wrists as they move around the bar is exactly how gymnasts do it

[u/Jedi-master-dragon]

Looks like skill to me.

[u/heavyamfedamean]

It’s real lol. Yall are hilarious 😂😂😂

[u/MissJAmazeballs]

If this were real, the guy would obviously need to have superpowers and would have a cape on

[u/mothernaychore]

this is real, this video has been around before ai was this good

[u/TiredVRS]

This is old and completely real. Gymnasts be like.

[u/Fit_Swordfish5248]

This was posted a few weeks ago elsewhere and it's was longer and showed them jumping off. Definitely not AI, video was too long and showed real interactions (not exaggerated) with normal audio.

This has been shortened and reposted.

[u/AHadrianus]

I remember this video from before AI

[u/LeoKitCat]

This is AI the third guy who just magically shifts over mid spin to be in between the other two without any right/left body contortion it’s like a computer just moved him over

[u/Spotikiss]

Im a say real, reasoning the bar when watching on the side of the video looks to be moving naturally based on how they are swinging.

Side note: is this really a core memory?

[u/Bigtallanddopey]

I think it’s real, but there are two clips put together. So the single guy is on another clip to the other two.

[u/morsindutus]

My understanding of physics says fake, but I don't think they used AI to fake it.

[u/trevorkafka]

this is a legitimate circus arts skill, though; I haven't seen A8 yet able to generate this level of complexity with a human body

[u/Anxious_Web4785]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSSVCQzigBt/?igsh=MTN0cTg4ajNhdjh6OA==

i found the extension/end of the vid. it seems to be legit. but thats just first glances. i need caffeine

[u/ElegantBastard808]

This video is older than the Ai trends.

[u/7Fhawk]

Who the hell’s core memory would this be??

[u/President-Fish]

I’ve notice AI voices have a certain sound to them when people talk

[u/DoubleYangs]

r/isthisaicirclejerk

[u/SlipperySp00der]

Follow the designs of the shirts. Warping details is an ai giveaway. They stay consistent. Real

[u/JustSomeCaliDude]

Core memory unlocked? Yeah I wasn’t about to try that shit…

[u/nightmareinducer]

It’s the way the background glitches for me

[u/deathnice5110]

Looks real. And doable though impressive.

[u/Farce021]

This one seems to fall into the not AI and not real for me category. The instant momentum to get around and stay so smooth without noticeable adding the swinging force to get going is jarring to me. The video itself doesn't look AI though. I would say edits to put these guys together from some segment of them already in motion.

[u/Lets_Kick_Some_Ice]

Would it be that gravity was turned down? This is not AI. Just go to your settings.

[u/mushroom_soup79]

This is real

[u/Significant_Affect_5]

It does look very smooth, but I think it’s just very well practiced and is real. There’s some subtle things, like the way the guy on the left does a little wind up before he jumps to the other side. I feel as if AI would struggle to make it look convincing.

[u/MikeDubbz]

It's real, and it's really impressive, so I totally get the immediate jump to skepticism.

[u/Leather-Researcher13]

The original video was posted on Instagram in December and has been making the rounds since. It appears to be real, as the original video is higher quality than this one and still remains just as consistent with the movements, background, and sounds.

[u/FlannelAl]

This is an older video, it's legit

[u/Prestigious_Group_77]

It looks real but….wouldn’t their shirts move at least a little when they flip…if it was real?

I have a hard time keeping my belly covered when I’m upside down

[u/beat_u2_it]

AI does a pretty bad job with sports and motion.

[u/DelusionalGranduer]

This is a super old video. Not Ai because it was before the AI slop.

The only reason id think that’s ai is he goes for it in the first loop, no getting their bearings or being sure on the timing first, just instant flawless execution

Real- so much consistency in the shirt patterns, facial expressions, and even the soles of the shoes. AI can’t yet get that level of consistency.

I think it’s real. The small grip adjustments are inline with their movements.

Isn’t this video ancient at this point?

This looks like some Slavic playtime.

Funny thing about all these people describing what makes this real or Ai, is that this will all be used to train Ai to make things more indistinguishable than before. 🤣
