    I've seen dogs do this before, but still I was looking for AI glitches. I feel like they would have had major issues going down those stairs

    I was also checking for glitches. I know when the camera moves around like this AI struggles with continuity errors with backgrounds but not in this video.

    Why would the dog have issues with the stairs? Having such a low center of gravity makes skateboarding about 100 times easier. Also, dogs generally have pretty good balance.

    16 points DIABLO258

    If it were AI generated. If it's real, which it seems to be, then there's no problem at all. But if it was AI generated, AI does all sorts of weird stuff with physics right now. A dog on skateboard going down some bumpy stairs would no doubt confuse AI.

    Look up videos of AI attempting to generate parkour content and see what I mean

    Glitches?

    parent root
    7 points DIABLO258

    It's probably not the proper term for it. Artifacts? Continuity errors? Stuff like the movement of the skateboard not lining up with reality, or the dogs hair changing, perhaps it only has three legs in a few frames, or the faces of the people in the background change as the camera gets closer. Stuff like that. Nowadays I can figure out if it's AI through the dialogue on the video. Humans in AI videos always want to state exactly what's happening on screen. Like, if someone falls down in an AI video you'll probably hear someone say "Oh looks like you fell down there didn't ya hahaha!" or if some guy is attacked by a tiger while in his car he might say "Oh god, this tiger is attacking me!" as if anyone would say that while being attacked by a tiger.

    It wasn’t confirmed by anyone, because it’s not AI.

    I’m convinced these people are part of a psy-op campaign to just pop under every video and proclaim everything AI. They’re retroactively doing it about videos that existed long before AI videos even existed, and they love to use language like “it was confirmed” when doing it. They almost never respond when you push back on it.

    It’s bad enough that there are tons of actual AI videos everywhere, but then these dudes are popping up everywhere to muddy the waters on real shit. Because if you believe EVERYTHING you see is AI, why should you care about anything?

    I know this sounds like I have a tinfoil hat of my own, but I’m legitimately convinced of this.

    Panting is a sign of stress?!! I've got two dogs. They pant when they're happy, excited, playing or hot or doing exercise. Admittedly, they also have tails, which is a much better way of judging a dogs mood than by how much they're breathing. Panting is what dogs do to regulate their temperature, their mouth and tongue is a heat sink. When you meet a dog one day, you'll see what I mean.

    -4 points NewmanBiggio

    That's very easily proven wrong with a cursory Google search.

    Edit: Google failed me a little. Pembroke Welsh Corgis with natural bob tails do exist but they are much rarer. They also generally still have a bit of tail reaching down further than this dog does. It's far more likely for the dog to have a docked tail than be a natural bob, though it is possible. My point still stands that docked tails are inhumane regardless if it was or not.

    There are two different types of Welsh Corgis—the Pembrook and the Cardigan.

    The Pembrook Welsh Corgis don’t have tails. They naturally have a bobbed tail. These are the dogs that Queen Elizabeth had.

    The Cardigan Welsh Corgis have tails.

    This skateboarding doggy is a Pembrook Welsh Corgi; so its lack of a tail is natural.

    As a child I had a Cardigan Welsh Corgi that I loved very much! She used to “herd” my sisters and me—we’d all run around and have a lot of fun!

    3 points MacabreFox

    Some of the Queen's corgis did have tails. Most Pembrokes are born with tails that are docked around 2 days old. The UK has made tail-docking illegal so you'll be seeing more of them with their adorable, foxy tails. I have 2 boys with tails myself. :)
