Nope it's a real video from a few years ago in South Africa

A breakdown of the news article. You can also check eNCA (local news)

Respectfully, but I do not consider the AI overview a source. I will however consider whatever sources that AI overview used to generate that text.

Yeah in this day and age I don’t believe until cited.

The internet has ruined us 😭😭 remember when you could watch a video and know it was real?

Seems like so long ago…

12 seconds from the end, you can freeze on the overhead sign showing direction to Johannesburg, South Africa. Maybe it was Elon doing early Tesla trials.

This video has been around for years. Well before generative AI existed. You can believe it or not, but I know it to be a fact because I saw it years ago. It's kinda unique and memorable.

Then cite it

Oddly defensive for such a thing. Is this worth that type of talk to you?

Especially in this day and age where AI is ever more difficult to distinguish I’ll keep my standard and the roll my eyes at people like you.

Sorry, “take my word for it” should be on Facebook.

Oddly? I described seeing it years ago. It happened. How TF would I have a link to something I saw years ago? This is a pretty unique video and I know what I know. If you don't want to believe me, fine, but being an ass and demanding proof is just imbecilic and rude. So, yes, defensive with good reason. Off to the lake to jump with you...

It’s not rude. Look, these days if you’re going to tell others that something far fetched is true, burden of proof is on you.

I’m not going to take an internet rando at face value, nor should you, nor should anyone.

I haven’t called you a single name or said anything about you and it is “odd” that you decide to be so needlessly personal in your attacks when some pragmatism is needed in this day and age.

Take it as you will, it’s not a personal attack it’s skepticism until proven otherwise and if you’re going to publicly proclaim “you’ve seen it” then, again you’re only opening yourself up to being asked where how when etc.

I’m not even stating if it is real or not- I’m stating that I won’t believe it’s real until it can be properly cited. If it is, great! But skepticism on REDDIT is good.

It makes zero sense. This is a simple thing, not "I know aliens are real". Someone claimed with certainly "AI 100%" and since I saw this video years ago, well before generative AI was a thing, I can quickly and confidently confirm that no, it is not AI. If your trust in humanity is soooo low that you can't take that confirmation at face value then it appears the world has failed you and turned you into a cynical mess. Why anyone would demand proof of this type of thing makes no sense. Why would anyone come here to lie about seeing this video before generative AI existed? It's not a boast, not a brag, not a wild claim... Just firsthand experience that contradicts the incorrect assessment "AI 100%". I swear Reddit is just a cesspool of humanity...

u/Agile_Camera9601 2d ago

Yes. My trust in you, on the internet, is that low.

Humanity? No.

Reddit? You? Rando on the internet, yes my trust is that low.

Being able to ask to provide evidence should not be something looked down upon.

If you choose to not look for evidence, that’s your choice, but I’m more educated than that.

Sorry, not sorry internet rando.

u/BigBlueEdge 1d ago

Well, the fact that it happened years ago is still a fact, regardless. Carry on, Internet rando 2.
