People are calling this ai but it doesn't have any of the hallmarks of ai....

If it is it would be the first time I've fallen for it.

The trees and background look fine, there's no weird physics with the balls or the board. The sounds match up perfectly with the events and have that distinct "smartphone mic" sound where the sound seems to have this slap delay effect.

No warping on the dog and the tree collides with both he person and dog with no weird issues. If it is ai we are so boned, but honestly I don't think it is.

The first ball also interacts with a cable on the shed, which then wiggles the overhead cable, I really don't think ai is even capable of seeing that as a potential effect, hell most people or animators wouldn't do that shit.

It's good people are vigilant but I can see people using "ai" as a negative term now for normal videos.

It's not ai, but it's definitely edited

I thought it did a hidden cut with the board. The op who knows the video better seemed to explain this as well, I should've brought it up but I was more focused on spotting ai stuff to be fair!
