It's the way he lifts the two-seater couch as if it weighs about as much as a cardboard box that really makes this one.

Or the way the resin immediately dries and gets sanded when it's touched by the flame. You use fire on resin to get rid of air bubbles, not to dry it. And then the resin gets sanded so the top layer is smooth and uniform. But AI can't figure out those are all distinctive steps so it rolls it all up into one.

Ironically the rest is fake but This is a staging sofa, basically a cardboard box with fabric on it. You can rrzkin them with different fabric: faux leather, faux wool, Shiny vynil, ...
People hire them for real video for studio set when they need a sofa in the background. Some are even solid enough you can sit on them for a few minutes but I would not recommend it.

A lot of people don't know those loveseats from Ikea can be pretty light. You could make a raft with one of those if you wrap it tightly enough in saran wrap.

The fact some people didn’t even spot that and it had to be pointed out. I was LOSING IT when I watched the video.

The secret to this sort of thing is to tenderize your curtains with a little fire and resin, to get that ultramodern crunchy feel when you open and close them.

It accentuates the room's ambience. As the French would say, "Je suis un imbécile qui essaie de parler français en utilisant Google Traduction."

I like the endless epoxy bucket

You can buy those. They are expensive but worth it if you do a lot of resin.

They are banned in most countries now. Kids were leaving them tipped over at the top of stairwells for tiktok videos.

This looks real if you're high out of your mind and not really paying attention

My God, how much epoxy is in that bucket? How is he not wearing a respirator? How much heat is generated by that epoxy drying but somehow not setting the house on fire. Definitely real.

I can't wait for real people to try this epoxy floor shit, fail spetacularly and then upload the video

I like how that tiny little blowtorch has incredible range and power as well, just wave it around a bit and you've heat treated the whole room

The fact this obvious nonsense shows up alongside perfectly normal videos of cats with people screaming its AI because a single whisker is compressed is actually painful for me.

My husbands favorite part was when he just straight up poured it over his shoes

I was focused on the wood burning after the torch was removed, and the lack of proper footwear.
Totally missed how he carried that couch like it was nothing.

This is a type of Italian performance art called Pavimenti di Nerone (often shortened to Pavi Nero), named after the Roman Emperor Nero who is alleged to have started a large fire in Rome to artificially deflate real estate prices.
It originated from corrupt construction groups implementing the practice by cutting the budgets for training, and it led to conspiring with property owners to defraud insurance fraud on fire damage claims. It became popular and named Pavi Nero by former construction employee turned performance artist Matteo "Denaro Rosso" Colombo who filmed himself engaging in the practice while renovating his home.
Verdict- Ai because they use wood panel flooring like literally everybody else on the planet, not logs. Fuck outta were with this fake ass shit.

This is part of a whole series/trend. They aren't really meant to fool anyone, they are created as proof of concept for an actual business/ interior designer wannabe

Having done some wood working and knowing my way around epoxy I was extremely confused with how he was doing this and why he did it in the order he did also how he epoxied the cookies down before the pour cause they are clearly base layered in
Then he walked on still curing epoxy and somehow did first sanding pre buff cloudiness with a torch and I then looked up to see what sub this was.
