Comment on How can I spot and avoid AI videos?
otter@lemmy.ca 1 week ago
I find that I can’t catch AI more easily if I’ve seen what it can output.
For example, the older videos used to use generative AI on the images and videos themselves, which made it easier to spot those.
Some newer videos are made with the “agentic” tools that have access to various scripts and animation libraries, which come out looking very polished and visually identical to human produced ones. For those, I find that the AI will put unnecessary “work”, into the irrelevant parts of the visualizations. Some of the libraries and fonts are more popular than others, so you might notice some tells that way.
For an example to the second category, check out the recent videos from this channel, which has AI generated “music videos”
Degenerative Pixels is a channel for music videos made with AI. The songs are generated in Suno, and the animation is written as code by Claude, so every scene is built by a program instead of coming out of a video generator.
It sounds like it’s explicitly not AI-generated video in the sense I think most people would mean?
Also, the irony of being told to “sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” to access a video generated by a bot.
Thanks for the advice and the link. I almost don’t mind AI used for traditional animation, I know its awful and plagiaristic so I avoid it but it doesn’t creep me out in the same way that photoreal deepfake stuff does. Do you know if there are limits to movement, expression etc that are tells for the realistic video?

With how many different models there are, I don’t think there is any standard to look for

Is that the best AI can do nowadays? The video looks obviously unreal even at low resolution. Where’s the difference between 100% CGI produced and AI. Visually, I mean.
The music is just bland. Unfortunately there’s way too many humans that produce slop like this (it’s still their IP though!).
Paraphrasing another commenter here, I’d say “overproduced” is the thing to avoid - whether it’s human or machine made.
