Finding images with artificial intelligence is as difficult as finding two-star shapes without a telescope. For the past few days, people have jumped into a trampoline in the backyard of their homes in the middle of the night to watch a brief video of a bunny colony caught up in ring-style surveillance cameras. It looks authentic. It is generated by AI.
Viral video of Tiktok featuring bunnies jumping to the trampoline
Even a few months ago, it was not impossible to highlight images generated by AI. A human with six fingers, incongruous earrings, etc. It has recently changed, especially after the release of Google's VEO 3 AI video tool. This allows you to create an 8-second video clip. Technology also allows you to add sound effects, ambient noise, and dialogue to your work. This will natively generate all the audio.
Yes, the AI Bunnies video has a minor flaw that makes one of the friendly creatures disappear halfway through. But out of the many bunnies, who is one bunny missing and can you find it in the 8-second video too? ! Are the two heads of the bunny less than a second? It's acceptable.
Behind the Tiktok video (reposted on other social media platforms) is a 22-year-old who works in marketing and simply goes by the name Andy. This was his first attempt at Google's VEO 3 model.
This is the beauty of the video and I want to see it over and over again.
It's not just bunnies. There are a lot of videos that are going around social media that we watch all the time. You may have seen a cat riding behind a snow leopard.
Researchers at Northwestern University published guidelines in 2024 on how to identify images generated by AI. Includes merging/morphing of body parts, as happens in the video in question. Also, the behavior of the bunny is inconsistent with the behavior of the rabbit in practice. And of course, there's no chance of multiple rabbits resilient on the trampoline. But who is tracking such facts?
At this point, people get very cute to funny when faced with the credibility of such videos. However, such videos become common.
Sam Altman, CEO of Openai behind ChatGpt, was asked about the bunny-like AI-generated video by journalist Cleo Abram. He had some acceptable explanation.
“Even today's photos taken from iPhones are mostly real, but not a little,” says Altman. He was referring to the processing that happens after you took a photo. However, such a process does not add extra bunnies or make them morphs. He then said: “I think the threshold for how realistic it must be to be considered real will just keep moving,” he says.
Many users are asking GROK if the images generated by AI are really the same. Please don't ask. Chatbots may be wrong. Furthermore, companies like Openai and Google do not explain whether the images were AI-generated or not.
The technology for finding AI videos is getting better. For example, Google's SynthID technology stamps AI-generated material with invisible but computer-readable code.
Filmmaker Shakun Batra and his team will be using Veo 3 with Gemini and using Flow over the next few months to experiment with AI-driven film sequences across genres, from action and drama to sci-fi and comedy.
