Which one of you was this?

Haha, what? Why is that boulder there? They probably did someone a favor. Get that junk outta there.

Not sure why I assumed it was an R2, except that the vast majority of my activity on this site is discussing the R2. My apologies for the wrong assumption.

What makes you think the boulder wasn't already in the middle of the parking lot before the AI created the video by showing the boulder to the right and ending up where it actually was all along?

It is AI. You are wrong. Bring up more misguided assumptions and I may continue to respond.

I am curious, when was the last time you told someone to "drop it already" that it actually worked? In nearly every case I can recall, that really just meant that the person was tired of doubling down on their mistake, not willing to consider who was right.

Give me a good reason that a car and boulder would actually respond as depicted in the video, and I will admit I am wrong. The bouncing of the boulder as though it was a fraction of the weight of such a boulder, the lack of any scaring of the asphalt from such a bouncing boulder, the absurd movement of the R1S, have convinced me it is AI. Your reasons that it is not AI are all without merit for the reasons I have already given.

I fucking live here. This was in my LOCAL feed, posted by the shopping center where this happened. Do you always talk out of your ass, or is this new?

Probably using the boulders as landscaping features and/or bollards. In my line of work I've seen large boulders set in front of electrical and/or cooling equipment to serve as security bollards without being obvious, like yellow post bollards.

My neighbor had several large boulders landed in his front yard to keep people from parking on the grassy shoulder in front of his house. One day while parking his boat he ran over a boulder and blew a tire on his boat trailer. I enjoyed watching that happen.

I'm not saying that's AI, but if it's real then that's not an actual boulder.

That boulder is probably only a few hundred pounds and takes a direct hit from a 7000 lbs suv.

But all this is just a diversion: It's pretty obvious that the driver is Donald showing off in his new White R1S. Sorry dude, nice try at deflection, but you'll have together up earlier in the morning to fool us! I'm pretty sure you'll need more than some PDR as well...

A boulder that size in most types of rock would easily weigh over 1000 pounds. Most rock is 150 to 175 pounds per cubic feet. If that boulder is, say 2' x 2' x 2', that is 8 cubic feet, and would likely weigh between 1200 and 1400 pounds. It looks larger than 2' on each side to me.

Any AI good enough to produce this without ANY AI creation tells, would also be good enough to do the basic physics dude. Its probably time to put the bong down man.

Don't you get tired of being wrong?

You caught me. Maybe this is why I'm having so many sensor issues lately?

Stanfield says it is not based on AI because he has personally seen the bolder with safety cones marking it in the parking lot where it is shown ending up in the video, that he lives in that area, and other interesting facts, none of which contribute to the determination of whether the video was or was not AI generated.

I went to the source of the video as far back as I could trace it, which is on the shopping center's website, https://www.facebook.com/mountainmilepf/reels/, and can only see that this one video is way out of character with every other video on the site in terms of messaging, formatting, and quality. The site has multiple administrators, and could have been placed there by any of them. Again, no proof it is or is not AI generated.

My position is that the visible evidence is reasonably clear that it is AI generated because of the rolling and bouncing of the boulder is inconsistent with a half ton or more boulder, there are no observable damages to the asphalt which should be very significant, and the movement of the Rivian seems very odd in its bounce (which might be explained by the active suspension exerting itself).

I believe that the boulder was originally set inside a curbing area that separates the entrance drive from the parking spaces, and I expect that is where the boulder originally was placed. I have no idea how the boulder was moved, but I do not believe the video is the real story. Just a guess, but the AI, or just the poor quality of the video is hiding other clues as to what caused the displacement of the boulder.

I'm just annoyed that this thread wasn't a R2 on its side in the middle of a field TBH.

So you found it from the shopping center. Then you made up some insane story that they AI generated this, despite the boulder sitting in the spot seen on the video with cones around it. You're starting to lose it.

That thread was a classic, but this guy twisting himself in knots to avoid admitting he was wrong is shaping up to be pretty entertaining too.

Brah -The best thing about AI is that it tends to be pretty good at knowing its own handiwork. Out of boredom whist waiting for some other stuff to finish, I let an agent loose on this for you. There is NOTHING in this video that it could find, after around 10 mins of playing around with OpenCV that would indicate a kind of image manipulation beyond compression and an overlaid soundtrack. You know sometimes a video is just.... ...a video.

Not sure why you are being argumentative and keep stating it is definitively AI when someone you lives right there and has vouched for it says it isn’t. Seems pretty arrogant.

Unless he saw the Rivian hit the boulder, or has access to the original mall video of the event and saw the raw video, then there is no reason that the local person who is a Facebook friend of the mall would have any superior info on whether the video was AI generated or not. This would be an easy video to have an AI tool generate, and there are a number of issues that I have explained which strongly suggest it is AI enhanced.
