#2I guess we'll have to take everything with a grain of salt from now on as any evidence can be faked with AI. I'm likely naive since I don't understand what the point of faking this was. Clout chasing? Monetizing this somehow?

In this case, "cloud chasing".

Can be to validate the technology before using it for something more nefarious.

Imagine capturing a crime on camera. And then having the court toss this as inadmissible evidence.
Fun times ahead !

I think it's validation. Consider if you were wanting to perfect AI to be very hard to distinguish, what better way than to crowd source it by putting on social media? The fear is when it's perfect and someone puts you in the middle of a very illegal situation; prove it wasn't you.

The article surmises it could have been created by a hand-warming mittens company.

#8I used to do paragliding and to me the video looks like low effort green screen more than AI.
The colons don't behave like that when flying because you have a tension exactly as much as your weight and it will vibrate and jiggle as it is rare to have perfect laminar flow especially over land(it gets more stable at hight altitudes but not that stable). Also, you are supposed to have 30 to 60 kph wind blowing at you all the time because that's how you stay airborn which means the handles and all kind of fiber and attachments will constantly move.
We were told stories about people who actually went to that altitude after being sucked by a cumulonimbus cloud and survived, so it's probably not impossible but this video screams fake at the second you look at it.
I'm surprised anybody bought it and I will be very surprised if it turns to be real. I find the one with the donkey much more convincing.
At least it has some wind and tension: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xqWN3h32wrA

#9Whatever the outcome of this specific case, we are clearly at a tipping point in history - it’s now basically impossible to say for certain if a fake video is real, and potentially even more problematic - also impossible to say for sure that a real video is not fake.
The whole concept of ‘video evidence’ is going up in smoke.

Ecree means most things can be accepted
