I think the feeling weird might just be that the depth of field is narrow and keeps changing. It creates a really strange look. No idea I’d thats a common thing in AI video but it seems like it could just be a quirk of how they chose to film…
Comment on The Daily Wire is now trying to pass off AI slop as actual footage from Palestine.
ArchRecord@lemm.ee 4 weeks agoI’m not inclined to trust The Daily Wire, but I also can’t exactly see anything that stands out like crazy that makes me think it’s fake.
It definitely has a somewhat surreal feeling look to it, but I’ve been tracking various faces and objects in the background and they don’t seem to move, change, or distort at all in a way that’s unnatural.
Either AI video generation technology got insanely good (or they just had a very lucky break with happening to get a good quality output) and I’m simply not able to fully identify it, or the video is real but the context and quote is what’s fake.

As far as I’m aware, it’s not. Most AI video is consistently clear, or at most just low resolution. (i.e. it tends to maintain a consistent visual style for each clip, without much changing to composition, lighting, style, depth of field, etc)
I was originally inclined to think that the blurring was added in post, to cover up moments where the AI generated footage did something that made it obvious it was AI, but even regardless of that the faces, positioning, and lighting in the background remained pretty consistent across the length of the video, which AI tends to not be very good with. (i.e. in a crowd of people faces will randomly appear, disappear, move, change height, etc in a way that’s unnatural)

I think I might be going insane. Every rock, face and little detail remains the same, yet it feels weird af.
Can we no longer trust any media?

I think we rescued a point where AI videos have Uncanny Valley status, and because of that, any unusual thing, or less than great quality in a real video will make us doubt its authenticity. A person who is unaware of generative AI (but aware of CGI in general) will probably not think this is fake.
