    I teared up a little when the third guy joining the line was pulled in to link arms. A simple, powerful moment of solidarity. Thanks for sharing this.

    Looks fake. Tried to find the stores by the names in the video and came up short. Don’t think this is real.

    We are quickly reaching the point where what we see on the internet can no longer be trusted. This quote you posted is bang on.

    I was there on the internet when everyone was saying, "that looks photoshopped," and there was a lot of confusion if the image was legitimate or not. Now we're hitting the point where AI videos and images are just hitting that stage of "ehhh maybe that's real?"

    AI slop still has that shittieness to it (blurred words and images, gibberish, the occasional extra finger, stilted speech), but in a few years time it's going to be way harder to detect the AI slop - and I fucking hate it.

    I get the feeling that real artists and creators will be further relegated to the fringes if there isn't a dramatic shift in the AI trajectory we're on. Do not underestimate the shear amount of incredibly dim people that will eat up AI slop for HOURS and ask for more.

    Not sure what you're searching for, but "alimentation" and "restauration rapide" are pretty generic. They basically just mean "sustenance" (probably a grocery store) and "fast food." Searching Google maps for those, multiple results come up for each.

    I think this is unlikely to be an AI video for a few reasons:

    1. It's a long (for AI) continuous clip
    2. I don't see continuity errors, e.g. people or objects occlude and reveal each other without things popping into/out of existence. For example, a gas canister is on the ground, it drops out of frame, a protestor enters the frame, kicks the canister, which then re-enters the frame.
    3. The subject isn't framed perfectly throughout, zoom levels jump, etc
    4. Objects (such as the signs) are in and out of focus, but retain continuity

    Anything else making you think it's AI? (Or did "fake" not mean AI?)

    The way the smoke grenade moved in frame at 0:23 combined with a protester then kicking it to the police looked very realistic.

    At 0:29 the guy pulls the bag of the person in shoulders towards him that looked very realistic too.

    Text on signs looking a bit suspect.

    Is this real? Concur if so. Love the background song too.
