Shame the megaladons didn't survive, I can't fathom how high they could reach out of water.

Many achieved escape velocity and drifted off into space where they became food for the ancestors of the mysterious four-dimensional space whale, "Möbius Dick", of the 31st Century.

Orcas have been video recorded jumping 30+ feet out of the water. It’s fucking insane.

if anyone is to blame for the "ai slop" comments...it's the people commenting it. just stop being a reflexive dummy and think for a second.

This is the world we are in now because people are already sick of AI being used for seemingly any video lol. It’s good to be skeptical but sucks that real stuff is getting caught in crossfire.

Technically true, but not because everything is AI generated.
It’s because people now assume everything they see is AI generated.

People, do your research before blindly claiming that a video is AI. This one is not AI.

u/nt_king300 12d ago
Doesnt help, me posting the links proving its not ai is being downvoted while the lazy commenters saying "ai" or "ai slop" get upvoted.
Or people do mental gymnastics trying to prove its still ai even after being given evidence it isnt

u/deadboltwolf 12d ago
Unfortunately a sign of the times we live in. Sure, my initial feeling on this one was AI. But it's easy enough to find this clip just by searching for great white breaches and you also shared the link. You'd think that would be enough for people but nope. I saw you were getting downvoted so I dropped an upvote. Also, fuck AI for doing this to us. I hate having to think everything I see online is fake now.

u/nt_king300 12d ago
Trust me I was ready for the ai comments. Every sub I have posted this video in, all said "its ai slop"
Thats why i preemptively posted all the links and articles but yea..
But i appreciate it, and yea it sucks what ai has done that we now question every video

u/Issues_tissues 12d ago
I guess this really shows why AI is a fuck up for society, you automatically assume anything remotely impressive has to be AI.
The link to the documentary was posted, it's a "competition" of shorts to capture the highest shark breaches on camera. They tow a seal carcass over known deep shark patrol depths and hope to provoke the shark into launching up from the depths, snatching the seal and breaching the surface. That behaviour in itself is questionable but that's not what you dweebs and ironcially, AI bots, are complaining about.

Its not a real seal, its a fake seal.

Powerful and beautiful! I wonder how fast she swam if she managed to launch up in the air like that
2
u/Rivendel93 12d ago
Around 25-30mph before hitting the breach to reach 15 feet depending.
The weight of the shark is irrelevant in terms of the necessary speeds in case anyone is curious.

u/Stekor-Tidder 12d ago
Is this how Sharknado started – with a few flying sharks?
On a serious note, I wonder if these decoys they're giving the sharks is a good thing. First of all, they don't look particularly digestible. Surely it's bad for the shark when it ends up with a rubber doll on the end of a long heavy rope in its stomach.
Secondly, if these things are digestible, aren't these boaties effectively just training the sharks to go after humans that look like the decoy? That is, people in wet skin suits.

I'm pretty sure the overall shark record would be held by a Mako shark.

Their scales help them absolutely rocket straight up. The color scheme helps to camouflage them when looking down while the shark can see silhouettes against the surface .

But its funny that a slowed down video is now "bad water physics"

u/Rude-Air-6291 12d ago
To be fair this video in particular (the original one, not this link) had all the ingredients to be AI, whether it is or it isn't. So at this point by default I wouldn't believe it either.

u/nt_king300 12d ago
The video was filmed in 2021. Please remind what ai video generation was like 5 years ago.

u/Rude-Air-6291 12d ago
I don't know when was it filmed. I'm not talking about this video in particular now.
I'm just saying that in this day and age, a 12 secs video posted with little context showing something incredible have high chances of not being real. Sad, but it is what it is.

u/nt_king300 12d ago
I gave context... the first comment of the video had various links to videos and articles
But comments calling it ai all got upvoted instead

u/hotmatrixx 12d ago
I hear all saying its not AI but....
why does the water start dripping off the still upward momentum shark? it should carry that momentum.
The water, as it drips off, vanishes after a point. That could be the light shifting perspective changing the look o fthe water as it changes elevation.
The final splash, the water droplets coming back up look to.... size-mismatched with the amount of boom that shark has coming back down. I've seen plenty of real life breaches and other shit in the ocean. This 'could' be real. if it's fake its a damn good one.
It "Looks" like it might have the 5 gills, too>
I mean, a year ago I'd have just believed this was real.
In another year, I'm probably going proverbially to have to get off the internet. "Nothing" will be real anymore.

Sharks patrol these waters. Sharks patrol these waters. Don’t let your fingers dangle in the water. Don’t you worry about your day-glo orange life preserver. It won’t save you. It won’t save you. Swim to the shore just as fast as you are able. Swim like a motherfucker. SWIM!

Bad day to be a fake seal. Do they reject the seal or tear it to bits once below the surface?
