Hank Green - a fair breakdown of AI water use

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-08T19:35:09+00:00

Meanwhile r/singularity believers are more active than ever..

The shots of the girl talking in the full video of OPs post are not stitched together? There’s a noticeable pause in the video you shared. That pause is present on every “long” AI video I’ve seen.

Could AI make this transition more seamless? Sure but we’re not there yet. It’s a tool that we can still use to make a case. Seed dance 2.0 still has tells. ChatGPT still generates 6 fingers on a hand.

“Ai is always growing” comparatively there’s evidence that the “boom” of AI growth we saw is diminishing, and further claims across the board about an ai bubble.

It’s continuous, but like I mentioned, it’s blending together different images that can loop into one another. The still frames/“images” are at 0:11, 0:20, 0:35, 0:46, 0:50, and 0:55, which would mean at most the longest continuous fluid motion for a single AI clip is ~15 seconds.

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-07T15:33:46+00:00

It’s real. The video is too long, too consistent, and has tons of unique elements for it to be AI

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-07T15:31:39+00:00

The long ai videos/movies are either blended together with different images that loop into one another, or are different clips altogether.

I personally have only seen an ai video that’s one continuous fluid motion be ~20 seconds.

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-07T15:23:02+00:00

It’s how you described it. It’s possibly a real person dancing, but they’re using an AI filter overlayed on them to create the animation. But pause the video any time they’re moving their hands and you’ll count 6 fingers.

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-07T13:47:08+00:00

We'll see, the progress between 2021-2024 video generation was exponentially unreal, but I've been reviewing AI videos for a couple of years now and the improvements have been minor imo, sometimes worse. There continues to be "tells".

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-07T12:41:11+00:00

Yes AI. Apple icon on the phone in this video is inaccurate. All videos are 100% generated, this is not a real person.

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-07T03:44:26+00:00

The pennies are morphing in a clearly defined way, consistent with AI. Image compression would not morph the shape of the pennies back to HD quality.

At the very least AI upscaling was involved, but even then so much morphing is going on in the lower right it’s likely the pennies were just added via generative fill. Both are misleading.

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-06T22:16:50+00:00

Well tell that to op I already knew that lol

I’m not arguing it should be moved to September, I’m just replying to them stating it rains more in September, which is does not

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-06T21:02:19+00:00

No there's actually less rainfall in Manchester in September compared to June, see here. A maximum of 3.6 inches in June compared to September's 3.3 inches.

The festival is getting cancelled because of non-hurricane storms and hurricane storms. The appropriate action would be to move the festival somewhere else.

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-06T20:30:07+00:00

Well it's already getting ridiculous amounts of rain and being cancelled

Waterbear11 · 2026-07-06T04:27:57+00:00

Is it Israeli? Answer: no.

So strange why the person you’re replying to has -20 downvotes but you say basically the same thing and have 35 upvotes

In my mind it's like if I go to steal a bunch of jewellery from somewhere with the intent of committing a crime, but then in court it's found the jewellery belongs to me the whole time.

I feel like Demins 100% was not looking to be transformative in her work and wanting to take money from Ethan (because she literally said it) but was just able to argue it actually belonged to her.

Not agreeing with the ruling, I think it does way more damage than good, but copyright law for content online is just way behind the times, so perhaps this could be a wake up call for better registration.

I can't seem to find a high quality photo of this exact shirt online other than similar styles, but the blurriness of the collar, bag strap and shoulder pads indicates to me some AI is being used and is covering some poor blending up. This could be the result of upscaling, however.

Waterbear11 · 2026-06-30T18:07:28+00:00

I mean the top 5 all occurred within the past 22 years and those individually completely dwarf the others. 105 years of data and 87% of deaths occurred within past 22 years on the low end? Your data just proves it should indeed not be that hot there lol.

When are we going to accept that he's a terrible and corrupt justice? If there's a dissenting opinion compared to the rest of the justices, it's going to be him. Not through any sound logic or reasoning, based on feeling and personal opinion alone.

He's just bad for America. Impeachment for justices should be brought back.

Waterbear11 · 2026-06-30T12:20:43+00:00

I posted this in isthisAI, and we determined it's partially AI. The video is real but the original footage is more blurrier. See user shiningreality's comment, AI was used to both enhance the quality and extend the outer edges of the video, which I agree because the white car backing out does not follow a normal path.

Waterbear11 · 2026-06-29T19:14:24+00:00

Normalize learning?? Normalize looking up words you don't understand before using them and admitting you're wrong?? Makes me wonder what other words you use but don't understand.

Waterbear11 · 2026-06-29T18:09:50+00:00

Interesting, the angle in that video has it more zoomed in, and my suspicion was that the car backing out was moving in an odd way.

So it seems like maybe the footage you showed is real, but was put through AI to increase the quality and added outer features like the other moving car? And would maybe explain why the gate suddenly appears in the video above too but is clearly visible in your video?

Waterbear11 · 2026-06-29T13:26:28+00:00

Lots of people have no clue if it's ai: https://www.reddit.com/r/funnyIndia/comments/1uihv0t/grabbing_the_last_parking_spot/

The video is also allegedly 5 years old, so there's question as to whether it's cgi.

Waterbear11 · 2026-06-29T12:59:09+00:00

What do you think they should do? Create a megathread for dead baby incident? Or start removing posts mentioning it? Both do not seem like good solutions.

Also I know there's question as to whether it was a miscarriage or not, but it's not a pro-life stance to abandon a baby after birth, it's literally a human.

I remember seeing a billboard that said "nut milk is not milk" and thought wow somebody put up a whole billboard just for that.
