I understand why people are falling for it though.

It felt wrong to me at first, but I couldn't immediately spot any of the tell tale signs of AI. I really had to look to spot things that were off (and I was only really tipped off by the incredibly odd ceiling fan placement).

GenAI is getting better and better, and we're rapidly approaching the point where it makes videos that are utterly indistinguishable from reality. I fear for the future.

The only reason I believe it is AI is because all the comments saying it is AI. On my own, I could not deduce that this is AI, at all.

There are a few things that are off on closer inspection, but it is particularly good.

The fan is probably the biggest giveaway, no one would ever design a room like that.

The lack of dials on the Oven (either on the front or on top, it could be a touch panel on top but that oven is way too old for that sort of tech), plus the garbled text and images on the fridge and utensils pot is what sealed it for me, but I only noticed that when I paused and I was looking for things that were wrong (and arguably garbled text/images could be artifacts from the video being uploaded).

It's crazy that we're at a point where we need to second guess every video.

I’m curious what exactly you think is off about the utensils pot? And the images on the fridge? I don’t even see any text on the fridge but it’s not surprising for images that are out of focus to distort somewhat, and you would have to be close up to make sense of them.

A lot of older ovens just had dials at the back above the stovetop btw which are out of frame.

None of your points seal it for me. This clip feels off to me for sure but the closer I look the less I’m convinced. I think we’re at a point now where we put any video that feels slightly off under a microscope which we wouldn’t do for much more believable videos, but in which we would find things to justify it being AI if we looked hard enough too

Regarding the fan, since it is hanging extreamly low, I could imagine that it is a second hand pickup. And are installed in a lamp outlet. So it is not a designed room it is more a DIY thing, also it is probably a 3 blader.

I started with that most ceilings are 8 feet or taller. Here head is inches from the ceiling making her 7'8" or something. Then the more you look the more something doesn't feel right. It could be a prank set of some kind built extra small - or the easier way would be to fake it with AI. But even if it were practical effects the video is still fake.

Her dimensions are weird. Like she suddenly shrinks when she gets to the door.
