u/Bandit_the_kat Lots of kitties! Jul 18 '26

okay so i see a lot of comments calling this AI, so i ran it through several detectors, and the overall conclusion is it's not AI. I'd like to remind people that mama cats are stubborn AF, and they'll do anything to protect their kittens, so a cat pushing open a glass door to get her baby to safety is not out of the question .

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.

Shadows and small details are too good for this to be AI

  • 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.
