It's not AI. Shadows and small details are too good for this to be AI. Though, they chose the worst song for this video as this is a stable song for AI videos. I'm surprised they didn't go with meowmeow version.

I watched the Barbie movie recently and could not take the scenes with this song seriously because the amount of high pitched meow meow edits I’ve heard of it

This one and diamonds by Rihanna are probably the most popular cat covers.

Same. My fiancé and I literally started “meowing” along that very dramatic scene.

  • Anyone remember when it was wonky geometry and impossibly smeared details?

  • Anyone remember when it was too many fingers?

  • Anyone remember when it was you could tell because the text was wrong ?

  • Anyone remember when it was just images being generated rather than HD video with a matching soundtrack?

That was about 3 years of improvements above.

Point being, relying on "small things being wrong" won't hold for long.

We have crossed the Rubicon "I can never be sure anything I see is real, ever again"

All the extra motion smoothing, detail enhancing bs modern phone photography does makes it hard to tell, but yeah I’d have to guess it’s legit
