Have you ever found yourself questioning what’s real and what’s not, especially in the digital world? You’re not alone. With AI-generated visuals becoming more sophisticated, distinguishing between reality and digital creation is getting trickier. A recent Instagram video has captured everyone’s attention by highlighting just how advanced this technology has become.
In the video, a woman stands before two seemingly identical benches, inviting viewers to guess which one is AI-generated. At first glance, both benches look real. But then, the scene shifts, and one bench vanishes, revealing it was entirely created by AI. The woman continues this fascinating trick with other objects, including a purse that amusingly transforms into a potato.
This video showcases the hyper-realistic capabilities of AI and its seamless editing, leaving many viewers both amazed and a bit skeptical of what they see. One viewer noted, “I love this, it’s kinda scary what people can do and what people will believe because of AI, but still very interesting.” Another added, “I got most of them right. The lamp got me. But this is terrifying. It used to be ‘believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.’ Now it’s gonna be ‘believe nothing you see because you’re living in a simulation and should throw your phone in the ocean and hide in the mountains.'” A third viewer shared feeling “severely manipulated right now,” while another exclaimed, “Oh my god, the statue at the end is TOO CRAZY.”
As AI technology continues to evolve, it challenges our perception and understanding of reality, raising important questions about the future of digital media and what we perceive as real. It’s a fascinating time to be exploring these advancements, though it does require us to stay vigilant about what we see and believe.
