How do you know if a video is AI? (lemmy.ml)

I just looked for ai slop on the internet and some videos are very realistic, so realistic it makes me doubt my ability to discern what’s real from what’s created to play with my emotions and generate money for the creator or advance an agenda.

I’m in my 40s. Video sites are full of what I assume overconfident people younger than me with comments like how boomers would believe any of these videos. I’m not that old myself yet but this stuff is scary. It can be used to denigrate a politician, to demonize or ridicule minorities, to share misinformation, to make porn using the face of somebody who rejected a disgruntled man...

It’s also very sad society actually wants this. It shows lots of people are actually very gullible and stupid.

A better question would be, how do I avoid being gullible with images and video so realistic? Because the more technology advances the worse it’s going to get.

Subtle unnatural movements. Everything looks too nice and perfect. Uncanny facial expressions.

For animal videos: everytime there are videos of animals acting too human, mostly in terms of showing human-like affection, its AI.

Situations that are too fantastical to be real. An example could be a video I saw of a guy in a ski lift and a big snow owl lands on his shoulder.

In general: objects or subjects lacking realistic weight and/or physicality to them.

Noticing inconsistencies in the background where objects or subjects melt together, like a person in the background merging with a chair or a bookshelf for a second.

Also, different videos with very specific scenarios like for example surveilance footage of wild animals running through screen doors and into a house while a human is sleeping on the couch or different videos of go pro footage of people in Rollercoasters that go off the rails and fly into the air.

Things like these, I have noticed.
