This video is obviously fake and people should be able to spot the glitches.

Exposure to fake content erodes trust in reality and makes people susceptible to manipulation.

“Sadly AI slop. The more we engage in this garbage the more we jeopardize reality. Reality. It's not up for debate. Please don't get used to fabrications. You will become confused and easily manipulated.”

now why are we reposting videos from an instagram account dedicating to posting short AI stories? why aren't you disclosing the fact that it's AI?
-
This isn't real. It's an AI generated video.
-
AI slop. You can see the cat morph when it walks away
-
This is definitely AI slop. A golden retriever would never do that. They would just accept the task placed upon them and cuddle the kittens.
-
Looks like AI to me by the movements but that's just me.

AI should be made to have a watermark on the video and in the post title.

Oooh cheers! Old lady here still learning how to spot this crap
-
Apparently, whoever created this AI video got what they wanted.

And it's disheartening that sooooooo... many people think they are genuine.

Not me. I like things real animals do, not AI animals.
-
Another AI account? ffs they're fking everywheerrreee
-
I’m so tired of fake animal videos… isn’t anyone interested in real animal behavior?
-
TBF if any animal was going to learn how to animation cancel, it would be cats.
-
It says AI in the upper left corner. Except for the cat turning inside out halfway through, I couldn't tell. Yikes
-
i think this was a clever ploy to steal the bed
-
Came here to point that out as well. “Cute AI”. Lol
-
Another one for the AI slop poster list I guess...
-
AI GARBAGE. One has to be seriously detached from reality to not recognize it.

Cat turns inside out mid vid and magically teleporting kittens at the end. Cmon guys...
-
AI. Watch the cat after the 3rd kitten drops. It magically turns around.
-
Awww, she was trying to get some ME time cuz everybody knows kids can make the nerves bad—— but that golden said “OH HELL NAW! Come get these GD kids!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
-
More AI slop. The cat spins 180 degrees in a single frame.
-
AI trash. Those kittens just appeared out of nowhere
