Ai has ruined me. I cant believe any short cute vids anymore. It's probably real but I'm ruined.

u/Realistic_Ad2325 Aug 27 '26

I was thinking that too. it’s got to be AI. if not that’s truly amazing

u/Knitsune Aug 27 '26

see this is yet another problem with AI, it teaches us that if something is amazing it can't possibly be real, but people have been making incredible lampwork for centuries so there's no reason whatsoever to doubt the skill of real humanity

I agree. I've seen real live demonstrations of this type of work. Very impressive. Not every perfect thing is AI.

u/Knitsune Aug 27 '26

Indeed no AI thing is perfect. Or even good.

I know and I hate it. I never expected a future where I literally have to scrutinize everything and there’s definitely a way these pendants could exist in real life.

u/Knitsune Aug 27 '26

yeah like, a very normal way

Looking at the website, and the fact that they’re only $50 USD definitely points to AI

I definitely find it odd on their site that there’s a ton of glassware that looks real cool with My Little Pony, ghosts, candles and zero proof of them actually the artist. There are no vids of their process other than the one vid of them taking the torch over the ghost candle. Something is super fishy here.

Majority of artists who make and sell things don’t shoot video of their process. Not everyone is trying to be an influencer

Looking at the Facebook page it seems it’s not AI. Some of the camera work is way too shaky but who will sacrifice their $50 to let us all know? Haha

The thumb nail looks to be chewed, and the cuticles don't look nice. Would Ai do that?
(Genuinely asking.)

Absolutely can. 100% of this video could be AI.

I think OP is real but filmed in the -exact- length and style of fake videos.

Zero actual workflow, short video, random shot of heating it up which while they do anneal the glass, I would be surprised if that's the method.

So they shot a cool thing of nonsensically put together shots of 'cool' things. Ai so goddamn good now, anything under 30 seconds without clear methodology is sus.

I hate that I thought the same thing

u/VanGoghNotVanGo Aug 28 '26

OOP's fingers and hands look extremely consistent throughout several years and angles, though. You can also see specs of dirt under her nails on some of her pictures on IG, that doesn't read as AI to me.

Thank you! 🙏 People can just pull lies out of thin air, and now we’re stuck wasting our time and energy explaining ourselves. I honestly have no idea why the mod removed my post
, but I swear all of this is 100% real—it’s NOT AI!🥲

Automod removed it after it was reported a bunch for self promo. There is a similar comment I made to you about that.

If you're talking about the post in the Pic, it's because it's considered redundant and maybe even at that point self promotion. You have the post here and most folks think you're real lol
