This Video Blurs Lines Between Reality And AI: 5 Points Reveal It's Fake
A video, showcasing a birthday party celebration with a woman placing cake on the table, a man blowing the candle and children clapping, looks like a normal Indian family at first glance. However, it's not. The video is fake and generated by artificial intelligence (AI). This is not a real home video 🤯 We can generate AI videos that look like they were filmed on a shitty old camcorder or outdated phone. You're no longer limited to crisp, cinematic outputs - we're about to see an explosion in the types of videos made with AI. — Justine Moore (@venturetwins) July 15, 2025 "This is not a real home video," Justine Moore, who is a partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, wrote in the caption. "We can generate AI videos that look like they were filmed on a shitty old camcorder or outdated phone." The video was created using Flux Pro with Seedance, an AI model that can generate videos with specific styles, in this case, "aggressively mediocre home video". The video stunned social media, but some users were able to point out mistakes. Here are five points that reveal it's fake. One user pointed out that the woman wears different earrings in each ear. The candle appears to glow brighter after being blown out. A boy in the background claps with only one hand. The text on the man's t-shirt doesn't make sense. A cardboard box held by the man disappears after the woman places the cake on the table. This AI-generated video shows the rapid advancements in generative AI, making it challenging to distinguish between real and AI-generated content. "You're no longer limited to crisp, cinematic outputs - we're about to see an explosion in the types of videos made with AI," Moore added. "Wow. That is insane," one user wrote. "This is more indian than being indian. we are cooked," another added. "This is insane... yeah, there are some flaws, but if someone didn't know it was AI-generated, they'd totally think it's a real video!" a third user said. "Btw, which tool you have used."

Is this video of an Indian family's birthday celebration even real?
A video of an Indian family celebrating a child's birthday has left the internet surprised. The reason? It's not real and has been completely generated using artificial Moore, a partner at venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, shared the five-second clip on social media, revealing that it was created using Fofr's new model, which combines Flux Pro with video features an Indian family gathered around a table as a child's birthday cake is placed on the table by her mother. Her friends cheered and 'This is not a real home video. You're no longer limited to crisp, cinematic outputs - we're about to see an explosion in the types of videos made with AI,' Moore said in her post, adding that the nostalgic look was achieved by prompting the AI to create an 'aggressively mediocre home video.'Watch the video here:This is not a real home videoWe can generate AI videos that look like they were filmed on a shitty old camcorder or outdated no longer limited to crisp, cinematic outputs - we're about to see an explosion in the types of videos made with AI.

AI Slop Is Coming for ASMR and I'm Finally at My Limit
Google's slop machine, Veo 3, is already firmly at the center of our brave new world of generative video, and it seems to have its sights trained on YouTube content in particular. There are Harry Potter vlogs, man-on-the-street content, unboxings, and now, the slop cannon is pointed straight at another pillar of YouTube, and this one has me ready to sign any anti-slop petition in sight. With the utmost regret, I present to you all: AI ASMR. Guys I hate to say it but the AI ASMR is only getting better — Justine Moore (@venturetwins) June 24, 2025As noted by Justine Moore, who has done a pretty solid job of cataloging the deluge of AI slop since Veo 3's release, AI ASMR seems to be taking off, and there is nothing you or I can do about it. Watch in horror as people scoop into seemingly solid objects in an 'Is It Cake?'-style 'ASMR' video that's generated specifically to be 'oddly satisfying.' Not going to lie, I wish that ketchup bottle in the video above were my brain right now—I could probably use an AI lobotomy. Why, you may be asking, am I so offended by AI-generated ASMR after all I've seen in the harrowing and copyright-defying world of Veo 3 content? Well, for one, I actually watch ASMR, and not just for shits and giggles, okay? I watch ASMR when I can't sleep, which is more than I would like to admit. And sure, I'm open to AI helping me do lots of things in this world—ordering my Uber, summarizing long annoying emails, or, I don't know, doing my dumb taxes—but I am not ready for the AI industrial complex to coo me to sleep like a big slimy meat baby in one of those pods from the Matrix. But as you may have already gathered, there is nothing sacred when it comes to video generation in its current permutation. Not world-renowned intellectual property, not a wholesale rejection from Hollywood actors, and certainly not the advertising industry, which is just short of frothing at the mouth over the prospect of using AI to generate the ads we have forcibly beamed into our eyeballs during primetime television. So, I guess that's it then. I'll ready myself for the big robot lullaby. Just do me a favor and wake me up when this high-speed train to Slopville makes its final stop—I've gotta go see about some squishy macarons.

Meta AI may have a ‘personal problem' and a very serious one, and it's a warning for users
Representative image The Meta AI app may have a "personal chat problem" that has the potential to escalate into a major privacy issue. Users of the AI assistant developed by Facebook's parent company have complained that its "Discover" feed is reportedly displaying user prompts publicly without them being aware of the same. This feature was introduced with the transition from the Meta View app to the Meta AI app in April. It allows others to see the types of prompts people are submitting to Meta's AI chatbot. However, a concerned user named Justine Moore took to the social media platform X (earlier Twitter) to note observing prompts in the public feed that suggest users may not know that their queries are being openly displayed. This raises significant privacy implications for users interacting with the Meta AI service. How Meta AI is leaking personal chats of users In the X post, Moore shared screenshots of personal chats that Meta AI is showing other users and wrote: 'Wild things are happening on Meta's AI app. The feed is almost entirely boomers who seem to have no idea their conversations with the chatbot are posted publicly. They get pretty personal (see second pic, which I anonymized).' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free Solitaire. No Ads Ever.

You have to hit a 'share' button, but many users seem to think it's posting to a private journal. Resulting in things like this…a man trying to write a romantic poem for his gf. You can hear a 6 min audio clip, here's a transcribed excerpt:' 'Obsessed with this man who tries to use the app to find a woman with a 'big b**ty and nice r**k.' When it won't post on his behalf in local FB groups, he asks the bot to 'delete my number.' Instead, he (accidentally?) shares it publicly - I redacted,' Moore further added. As Moore suggests, users have been unintentionally exposing sensitive information on Meta AI. Users are advised to refrain from sharing prompts containing private medical and tax details, addresses, and intimate confessions (ranging from relationship doubts to personal dating inquiries) with the app as they seem to be appearing publicly.

PSA: Get Your Parents Off the Meta AI App Right Now
As much as I've enjoyed using Meta's Ray-Bans, I haven't been a very big fan of the switch/rebrand from the Meta View app, which was a fairly straightforward companion to the smart glasses. Now, we've got the Meta AI app, a very not-straightforward half-glasses companion that really, really tries to get you to interact with—what else—AI. The list of reasons why I don't like the app transition is long, but there's always room for more grievances in my book, and unfortunately for Meta (and for us), that list just got a little bit longer. Wild things are happening on Meta's AI app. The feed is almost entirely boomers who seem to have no idea their conversations with the chatbot are posted publicly. They get pretty personal (see second pic, which I anonymized). — Justine Moore (@venturetwins) June 11, 2025 There were a lot of tweaks when Meta crossed over from the Meta View app to the Meta AI app back in late April, and it seems not all of them have been registered by the people using it. Arguably one of the biggest shifts, as you can see from the tweet above, is the addition of a 'Discover' feed, which in this case means that you can see publicly, by default, what kinds of prompts people are funneling into Meta's ChatGPT competitor. That might be fine if those people knew that what they were asking Meta AI would be displayed in a public feed that's prominently featured in the app, but based on the prompts highlighted by one tech investor, Justine Moore, on X, it doesn't really look like people do know that, and it's bad, folks. Very bad. I spent an hour browsing the app, and saw: -Medical and tax records -Private details on court cases -Draft apology letters for crimes -Home addresses -Confessions of affairs …and much more! Not going to post any of those – but here's my favorite so far — Justine Moore (@venturetwins) June 12, 2025 As Moore notes, users are throwing all sorts of prompts into Meta AI without knowing that they're being displayed publicly, including sensitive medical and tax documents, addresses, and deeply personal information—including, but not limited to—confessions of affairs, crimes, and court cases. The list, unfortunately, goes on. I took a short stroll through the Meta AI app for myself just to verify that this was seemingly still happening as of writing this post, and I regret to inform you all that the pain train seems to be rolling onward. In my exploration of the app, I found seemingly confidential prompts addressing doubts/issues with significant others, including one woman questioning whether her male partner is truly a feminist. I also uncovered a self-identified 66-year-old man asking where he can find women who are interested in 'older men,' and just a few hours later, inquiring about transgender women in Thailand. I can't say for sure, but I am going to guess that neither of these prompts was meant for public consumption. I mean, hey, different strokes for different folks, but typically when I'm seeking dating advice for having doubts about my relationship, I prefer it to be between me and a therapist or close friend. Gizmodo has reached out to Meta about whether they're aware of the problem and will update this post with a response if and when we receive one. For now, it's advisable, if you're going to use the Meta AI app, to go to your settings (or your parents' settings) and change the default to stop posting publicly. To do that, pull open the Meta AI app and: Tap your profile icon at the top right. Tap 'Data & Privacy' under 'App settings.' Tap 'Manage your information.' Then, tap 'Make all your prompts visible to only you.' If you've already posted publicly and want to remove those posts, you can also tap 'Delete all prompts.' I've seen a lot of bad app design in my day, but I'll be honest, this is among the worst. In fact, it's evocative of a couple of things, including when Facebook released a search bar back in the day that was misconstrued for the post bar by some, causing users to type and enter what they thought was a private search into the post field. There's also a hint of Venmo here when users were unaware that their payments were being cataloged publicly. As you might imagine, those public payments led to some unsavory details being aired. For now, I'd say it's probably best to steer clear of using Meta AI for anything sensitive because you might get a whole lot more publicity than you bargained for.
