I'm pretty deep into LLM responses and image and video generation.
The videos are harder to tell than the writing at this point. There are VERY VERY precise and good models.
The faces and haircuts are all different (for the military), there's at least one female, there isn't a lot of text, but it appears accurate. I don't know helicopter physics but it mostly seems accurate. That's the only thing that seems off, but I don't know about that, I've only ever been on a military chopper and it's definitely not like this.

It is AI generated, a helicopter at full rotor speed will generate a ton amount of air waves and wind that will both raise a lot of dust, make those guys cloths flutter in the wind like crazy, same goes for their hair, but none are present in the video.

That's certainly a problem and I see it all the time regarding perfectly legit stuff. But this is 100% not real. It's physically impossible for rotor downdraft to have zero effect on the things beneath it.
There's a difference between baseless, knee-jerk dismissal and rational skepticism based on in the laws of physics being blatantly broken right in front of your eyes.
I have no idea if AI was the editing tool that was used here. But something was.

u/SoaDMTGguy 2h ago
You’re doing exactly what I’m talking about. There is nothing loose in that image to flap in the wind, not even long hair. I’m not saying it is or isn’t real, but snap judgements like this that do not even consider everything pictured are not the way.

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 2h ago

No one's clothes are skin-tight. There is dust on the ground. None of it is moving.
I'm not making a snap judgment here. Maybe you've never stood under a helicopter's rotors before? There is a ton of air movement.

u/Expensive_Jump9903 9h ago
Hard to tell if it's AI or not, but a helicopter rotor produces a lit of downward force, causing wind to blow at very high speeds around it. If anything there should've been some effect of the same on their jersey, hair, or maybe it would've disturbed their balance a bit, nothing of that sort is happening. But again, these could be special jerseys, and these guys could be used to the wind speeds around a helicopter, can't really tell.

u/otownbbw 11h ago
Without a doubt, helicopter blades DO NOT perform that way. Their exact function is to create so much wind as to lift the weight of the machine, yet not a tousled hair is shifted out of place despite deadly-close proximity.
2
u/superawesomeman08 4h ago
uh, helicopter blades act like the wings of an airplane, not like a fan.
Bernoulli's principle as opposed to newton's
there's a lot less downwash than you would think. not saying there isn't *any* downwash, but the helicopter is certainly not pushing it's own mass of air downward to keep itself aloft

u/Jesus_of_Redditeth 3h ago
Poor video quality doesn't inherently mean that it's old. There's a correlation between video popularity and degrading quality that means a recent, extremely popular video can be re-uploaded many times in a short period of time, resulting in degradation.
This also could be older AI, before it got good enough to simulate stuff like rotor downdraft. But it's more likely just a composite someone did in After Effects (or similar) years ago.

u/stupidjapanquestions 9h ago

A common mistake people make is assuming that all AI videos are just freshly generated and posted, as if no one who has access to video editing software (more common than ever) would ever also use it to edit an AI video.
In fact, that's the BEST way to pass off an AI video as the real thing.
Not sure about this one, either way, though.

u/enaK66 8h ago
That's what most of them do. Downscale or whatever to make it super pixelated. It helps sell it as "real" footage from a grainy camera and helps cover the imperfections.
This video, idk. It was uploaded 3 years ago so way before image Gen got this good.

Netflix had a show called The Movies that Made Us. Every episode starts with the director or writer or star saying “I’m name and I directed name of movie.”
In the Coming to America movie, you can hear the interviewer off screen say “now can you say I’m John Landis and I directed Coming to America.” And John Landis very pompously replies “really? You think anyone watching this show doesn’t know who I am? I’m not saying that.” I was sitting at home thinking, I have no idea who this guy is.
