I’m no expert and I know we’re all learning how to figure out if something is AI, but are enough of us remembering that CGI exists as well? That this is what we used prior to ai? This isn’t me purposely trying to act dense to get my point across and I really want to emphasize that, but I feel like a lot of people are distinctly doing this (not just in this context either ofc). I remember a few months ago or so, there was that whole Disney debacle where a short came out, everyone thought it was AI and went crazy over it. The creator(s) had to come out and explain how hard they worked, and that it was just CGI. I feel like every time I see some sort of animation online now it’s all up in arms comments about it being AI (of course we know this is cheaper and *awful* for companies to use for numerous reasons) and ‘how could they’, etc. Yes this was absolutely sparked from reading the LSFM post, but it’s been on my mind for awhile. I also know about their Gemini collab! I know AI is getting tremendously better and I’m sure some of those videos are just that, but specifically the one with the dogs dancing… it screams CGI to me with the smoothness? Aside from companies blatantly stating and/or us being able to use reverse generators to find out if it could be AI, how, and do we really know what’s happening?
