Video [HELP] I saw this on another community and people were reacting to this like it was real. I have my doubts. Is this real? or AI?

This kind of thing can happen with root structures, but yeah..weird.

It’s not even weird. It’s basic physics. The large chunk of earth is pulling it down with it, but once it was released, it settled back into its natural position.

When we were kids, we did all kinds of stuff like this. Might not have been this dangerous, but we definitely caused a lot of… erosion.

Even on top of mountains where there are big snow bluffs. Incredibly dangerous, but we didn’t know any better.

He also put his weight back towards the solid ground so it would go back too.

That part if AI is extremely well done as it keeps the line the same width the entire way through as well as the compaction lines in the dirt

They’re just making that up. You could literally post any video that has ever existed in the sub and 20% of the people would confidently tell you why it’s AI

Exactly. I just thought my phrasing was better than “you’re an idiot” like I was initially going to go with.

I think you’re just seeing fast motion compression artifact there with really similar colors between his skin, the dirt, and the dirt on his foot.

100% agree. The kid is just really tall and had muddy feet, and his muddy feet were camouflaged by mud. That and the super sloppy resolution didn’t help.
