SUMMARY
The author, a photographer, describes their experience of being fooled by a realistic AI-generated video, a moment they anticipated but found unsettling. Initially convinced of the video's authenticity, they only realized it was AI-generated after reading comments. Upon rewatching with a critical eye, subtle AI artifacts like jerky camera movements and an anatomically incorrect cameraman became apparent. The creator had included an AI disclaimer, which the author acknowledges as transparent.
