Crow snowboarding on a plastic lid

@marcioaleks

Yes !! .... but it's....

🎶🎶🎶AI Bullshit 💩🎶🎶🎶

😑

@Lambdachro @marcioaleks I'm curious what makes you think that? I can't see any obvious red flags apart from it being suspiciously well filmed, and I have seen corvids snowboard rooftops before the slop era
@thezoq2 @Lambdachro @marcioaleks snow doesn’t move when tail touches it…

@TomDB @Lambdachro @marcioaleks Yeah, that ticked me off too

I also looked at the source instagram, and it's all super sloppy judging by the thumbnail

Fuck this fucking AI bullshit

@thezoq2 @TomDB @Lambdachro @marcioaleks
A taste of the future, we will NOT believe anything we see anymore.
OR some people will believe everything they see.

The first takes a lot of joy out of everything.
The second should scare you shitless.

I don't think we could have said it any better. ☝️😑

@thezoq2 @Lambdachro @marcioaleks I looked at the flip at the end and the way it rotates just seems too perfect. The claws don’t really grab the plastic. The lid also doesn‘t leave marks when it goes down the roof.
@compfu @thezoq2 @Lambdachro @marcioaleks
Yup, no marks is a strong giveaway.
Also notice how the camera position changes when the bird mounts the lid. The trees disappear behind the roof, so the camera is going down.
You'd think this might be filmed from a Window, no? Or does the person who saw this have a camera gimble on a stick, just for that occasion?
Also, that's not the sound of plastic on a metal roof.
@MennoWolff @thezoq2 @Lambdachro @marcioaleks You’re right! I‘m less suspicious of the bird being perfectly centered as it might be a directed crop of a wider video. But the parallax of those trees is a good indicator.
@compfu This specific video could be fake, but there's plenty of evidence that some crows do this.
@wesdym Yes. One thing that AI has ruined is being able to be amazed by animal behaviour 😢 there was a video of cats chasing off bears that I thought was real and Sora is so good at faking these because cats actually do this.
@thezoq2 @Lambdachro @marcioaleks Also, about 60% of these type of videos are fake. Assume they are until proven otherwise. :-/

@thezoq2 @marcioaleks

I don't think there are only one answers even though there are about fifty things wrong here...
But before having the eye,
My filter is a simple question, and the question is: Have I seen this (the action) before? If the answer is No, then there's no doubt.

@Lambdachro @marcioaleks there are videos of crows sledding from well before the AI era so that particular filter doesn't work here
@marcioaleks Please do not turn this network into Meta's trash. Do not post AI slop
@marcioaleks AI or not. They are clever enough to do that.
@marcioaleks corvids are awesome! 🫶
@marcioaleks Most probably AI shit. 😒

@marcioaleks

For comparison, here's an 11 year old Youtube video showing the same thing. I don't know enough about visual editing or FX to make any claims about its authenticity, but at least it would have had to have been a human forgery:

@marcioaleks despite this most likely being AI generated, birds have actually done this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WupH8oyrAo

@marcioaleks According to Hivemoderation there’s a 59 % chance of it being AI. Really hard to spot because the kind of crow matches both the kind of roof-construction and the birches in the background (all together suggesting Scandinavia). It’s scary how hard this shit is getting to spot 🤬
@cR0w hitting that fresh powder I see
@marcioaleks when crows do it it's called snowbirding

@marcioaleks I was going to say this was AI, but then I searched and apparently, snowboarding is something corvids do! 😮

@marcioaleks this one might be AI. But this video from 11 years ago isn't:

@marcioaleks I've seen them riding fair-sized stones down my neighbor's roof. I wonder how widespread this behavior is.
@marcioaleks AI generated. Here’s the real video it’s based on: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hn0OjCneVUg&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD
