Critics highlight ethical problems beyond authenticity
3 Sep 17 10:19 AM · 9d ago · 14 comments · 1 source · development 3 of 6
Beyond debunking the AI, commenters raise concerns about keeping wolves as pets (illegal in most jurisdictions), the message sent by framing improper wildlife handling as cute, and the broader problem of emotional manipulation through synthetic content.
“Dawg even if this isn't AI this is hella illegal & should not be framed as a cutesy rescue story. Wolves are not pets”

It would be nice if it were true. I am so sick of AI slop. If the creator stated something like: "I put this little video together with the help of AI. I hope you like it." It would be at least honest.

My suspicion is that this was AI, so I checked the comments and am reassured that is the case. For those asking how people don't obviously know immediately, I think it would be more helpful to point out all the ways they (and I) can identify AI for this video as well as others.

I immediately knew it was fake cuz a camera was recording a dog’s entrance out of the blue. What timing! I knew it was fake because normal & good humans would look for the mother. I knew it was fake because both dog & wolf pup were immaculately clean. I immediately knew it was fake.

The world produces more beauty and wonder every day than we have time to experience, and yet some people still feel the need to boil the oceans in order to produce a twee simulacrum of wonder. Humanity continues to disappoint.

Entirely AI. What an amazing technological advancement 😂

Prove it's real. Find me the person who owns the dog. Who recorded the original video? Asking someone to prove a negative is fucking stupid, do better and learn to spot the clearly fake fucking AI videos.

this is fucking AI. you should feel ashamed for falling for it and im muting you so i dont have to suffer more ignorance from you

Because they don't look twice. If you just watch this video and think "aw cute" it's easy to miss the unnatural movements (look at the puppy's tail) that give it away. Boomers are very trusting. They will usually believe the first thing they hear and never think twice about it.

Why are you posting AI slop? This is bullshit. Send me the article, written by a legitimate news agency, that shows this. I hate this, and I kind of hate you for posting it.

How do you know how old posters are? Don't be an assumptive ageist asshat.
