It is AI-generated slop. The carrot skrew has 6 turns according to the video, but the tool making the skrew only made four turns.

All trending videos on my mastodon feed turn out since september to be Artificial Intelligence generated.

@xdej @synapsenkitzler

not only is it real, but your post is a serious problem

the threat from AI is not being tricked that something fake is real

but being so filled with doubt, we don't believe anything at all, even real photos and videos

again, the issue with the rise of AI slop is not being fooled, but voices like yours muttering "fake fake fake..." under every post

whether as a troll effort, or pathological distrust

i wrote a thread about the phenomenon:

I remember someone from Germany being very sceptical a picture from 1970s I retooted of British folk fixing a car in the street wasn't AI - in the end he did realise I was old enough to have seen such scenes with my own eyes and familiar with the look of 1970s analogue film stock (my late father was heavily into photography) and the street layouts of Britain of that time - there might have also been a cultural difference, as by 1970s (before he was born) such activities were *already* "streng verboten" in West Germany (they are warned against in "Das Grosse ADAC-Autobuch from that era", so he wouldn't have seen folk fixing cars in the street as a youth..

yeah and the threat with these "fake AI, fake AI, fake AI..." posts under everything is in us not believing in anything, and we just trust our (biased) gut

that is even the point of propaganda:

not to push an agenda, but to fill everyone with distrust of *all* agendas, good and bad

this is just a carrot-cucumber video. zero stakes

but what if it were a video of a wartime atrocity?

the threat from #AI is not tricking us, but training us to believe nothing

its very likely to be a publicity / marketing video for the CNC machines, maybe from a Chinese social network so there could be a language barrier in finding the original - I regularly see some amazing semi-automated mechanics tools on some videos of Chinese mechanics at work, but its near impossible to find out where they come from, and even if you do they aren't widely sold in the West

@vfrmedia @benroyce @xdej @synapsenkitzler I an fairly certain I found the original: https://www.tiktok.com/@wadimsych1/video/7575441835519200568 (the rest of the channel is similar videos: https://www.tiktok.com/@wadimsych1)

Method:

- googled "carrot cucumber cnc"; found a comment on a repost saying it was actually a lathe
- googled "carrot cucumber lathe" to no avail, although I did learn many people use lathes for making decorative vegetable garnishes
- googled "carrot lathe" and saw the thumbnail in the Images tab

Time: idk 15 minutes? I'm procrastinating on work
