I hate the rise of plausible looking AI.
agreed, usually I'm good spotting AI vs not, but this one looked decently real
It does look really plausible at first.
But the way it first looks like a Ring camera video, then pans perfectly to follow the Mountain Lion, shows it teleporting into invisible brush, and has perfect audio of rustling leaves as it disappears into the brush, leads me to believe it is bullshit.
I was fooled the first time I watched it. The community note says a watermark was manually removed, I can't see any artifacts of that though.
Theres something about the initial leap and fall that looks out of place or unnatural though. I thought the bushes were just out of focus or not visible due to a lack of lighting or contrast.
The biggest clues in my mind is the fact that its a 10 second or so clip and the camera work as you mentioned. A ring camera is not going to pan around.
