At the same time as the hand glitch, the window glitches above to be different. Someone in another thread mentioned a heavy AI filter on him. I think I agree with that. If you speed up the video and no sound, you can see his mouth is obviously fake. It's probably to hide the stroke, mouth droop.

and the cadaver hands
There is such a thing as stroke hand. Ironically, it looks like when he was making fun of the disabled journalist.
Hijacking top post again, to point out the red flags
- 🚩OP posted ABC official video with custom made post title to suit his narrative
- 🚩OP used a software AI detector (made by AI unbeknownst to them) to tell that this video is ~70% chance of being AI, not their own expertise or critical thinking
- 🚩 OP is misdirecting the audience by making them focus on a specific part to support their narrative instead of letting the video speak for itself.
- 🚩 all the anomalies happen around the 0:19 timestamp. The blur in the tree leaves in the window, the face/mouth movement and the hands. Occam’s razor would tell you this is a classic cross dissolve.
There’s no such thing as an AI filter on this. It’s plain old video editing. He misspoke as I explained below.
I want this guy gone and out of our lives as much as the next guy, but if we lose our critical thinking skills and will begin with these herd upvote stampedes without even considering OP might be trying to steer the narrative, we lose a lot of credibility with potential (new high quality) users.
This seems to be posted on a fringe instance on a poorly moderated community, hence me going hard against this, as I don’t think reporting this post with help. So please downvote this post.
This is a classic cross dissolve
There is an “AI powered” cross dissolve that can be done to hide jump cuts in long takes.
Google “Morph Cut in Premiere Pro”
This is a pretty assinine take
- you're not rebutting this.
- does this program work or not? You're making an ad hominem attack rather providing any insight into whether this detector is or is not effective or why
- op is offering supporting evidence for their position. Is this evidence valid or not? What the fuck does "let the video speak for itself" mean? If you don't agree with evidence argument with your own
- occam's razor states that the simpelst explanation is usually the correct one. It is a broadly applicable maxim to help one think critically. If this is or is not a cross dissolve then show fucking evidence. Make arguments.
Jfc
You're fighting hard against a well reasoned set of points. The only evidence possible here is looking at it with your eyes.
This isn't what reason looks like. Reason is supported by arguments and evidence.
And your reading comprehension is truly awful if you think I'm fighting for anything. These are not well reasoned points. I am not arguing against them or for them, I am not arguing for the op or against the op.
Lol sure thing

Edit: a better one created by someone else.
That looks much more like a cut. There is a technique blended cuts that interpolates between two similar shots to disguise the cut. That seems to be a much more likely explanation than AI hands, because it only happens for that one moment. And not before and after. His posture also shifts significantly at the same time.
There are many techniques to create and manipulate images and videos. It's not always AI. Those don't look like AI hands.
It doesn't have to be that hard even. Just a simple cross dissolve, the most basic video editing tool will accomplish what you see.
On the second one, my phone allows me to scrub the timeline and you can see his whole right arm is spliced from two separate moments in time. The folds on the sleeve magically shift, so it’s clear he moved and this has been edited.
I don’t think the full clip is AI. But this is a lot of extra effort to edit a trivial scene for someone whose job it is to talk all day. Why go to all the length? Would anyone care if they just had a cut in there? Would that be so suspicious otherwise?

The explanation of why this post should be taken down, or the title changed to “.. is probably not AI” is in my comment below that’s getting downvoted by the echo chamber.
I get that everyone wants to prove to others and themselves that they know how to spot an AI fake, and I get that he regularly uses over the top AI for trolling purposes (mostly to distract from the !Epsteinfiles@lemmy.world, but it doesn’t help Lemmy if we’re going to start just calling things fake that aren’t. That’s what Reddit is for.
I don't think so. I think this is many takes edited together and we all know AI has been pushed into editing software so it's orobably been used to smooth the cuts.
On top of that you can see the reflection if the teleprompter scrolling in the reflection.
Trump is dead they're just weekend-at-bernies-ing him
Well, there's reason to believe he just had a major stroke. Saw a lost here on Lemmy about it, actually; has a picture of his face from that, and one side is very beautiful drooping down.

Peak human evolution:
- cant use hyperlinks
- saw something somewhere
- spell check? "Ah, they'll know what I mean"

Yep, using AI to confirm or deny another AI?
Sorry, I have no reason to trust either side, it's all a load of AI shit.
I think the AI in the name AI Video Detector is referring to the fact that it detects AI, not that it is AI. I'm not sure though, it's just the first free one that popped up.
If you know of one that is more reliable or that you trust more I'd be happy to run the video through there- or you can.
I didn't really need a 3rd party site to tell me that the video is sus- it's pretty clear just by looking at it.

Yea, this AI. It's jumpy and weird as fuck.
Im calling it now, Trump has has a stroke!
Scrubbing through the video and it just looks like he lifted it quickly and set it back down
There's a clear unblurred frame of three fingers. It's easier to get to using the , and . keys to move frame-by-frame.
It just looks like the index finger is behind the ring finger IMO
You didn't watch the slowed down, enlarged vid of his hand. It's not human. I do think that it is likely video interpolation up sampling to whatever they changed it to like another commenter said.
It's very fucked for a presidential address, regardless.
I watched the gif but went to the youtube video and scrubbed through myself frame by frame. It's not high enough quality video with too much missing to determine. It doesn't look even look abnormal to me. ("Doesn't look like anything to me")
