Have you seen a viral video of a bear jumping to a trampoline? I found out it's AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) and creativity have once again fooled the internet. A recent video showing a huge bear bouncing happily on a trampoline has gone viral on Instagram and other social media platforms. Many people believe it is real and were surprised at how happy the bear jumped, turned over and enjoyed it.

The short video appeared to have been filmed in someone's garden with a ring camera. After the bear climbs onto the trampoline, it bounces and rolls like a person. People share the videos widely and call them “cute” and “unbelievable.”

Instagram users find AI in virus clips:

Instagram creator @showtoolsai is known for finding AI-generated videos online, but claimed that the bears in trampoline videos are not authentic. In the breakdown of the video, he explained why he believed the clips were being generated by AI.

He pointed out that the clip appears to be from the ring camera. This is often used in AI videos. He also saw the bear's legs appear unnatural and the ball on the trampoline didn't move when the bear bouncing off.

The internet was unsettled after learning that bear videos were AI generated and causing a wave of strong reactions online.

Viral trends behind AI and animal videos:

Justine Moore, another user who creates and shares videos generated by AI on X (formerly Twitter), also shared a viral bear video.

In her post, she noted that two AI animal videos are now viral on platforms like Reels and Tiktok. The first type shows that the cat is taking it home or interacting with unexpected friends. The second type often features animal visitors jumping to the trampoline with an amazing or entertaining ending.

Moore added that the bear video fits this trend and even shares tips on how to create similar AI clips using simple tools and prompts.
