I think that to the casual YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Douyin viewer, or to the general untrained eye, it would likely be challenging to identify this video as clearly AI after one viewing.
To me it is clear after a couple of viewings that it's AI-generated (note the street signs, traffic light distortion, face masking, etc.). But even though I've seen a lot of AI content, I'm not sure I could nail it 100%.
While objective evaluation of videos is much harder than objective evaluation of textual answers, it's nevertheless very clearly a capability leap over the earlier generation.
