Hello all. Seen several videos on trade shows and expositions, different types. Is it some A.I. crap ? Pick any:

First one certainly looks fake/AI. No vertical exhaust hitting the ground and disrupting anyone’s pants as it flies by. Second one should be kicking up sand.

Though the blonde rider in that hoverbike video has some potential to disrupt pants.

Since these are all taken from Faecebook I can't see them. But there is at least one real device of this type, as pointed out by @Sensei . That one uses jet engines - and costs $0.8m a pop, so only of interest to broligarchs.

Might be entertaining if if Zuckerberg bought one and crashed it, while wearing his creepy AI glasses............ 😁

🙄 Can A.I. detect if some image / video / creation / article is a product of A.I. ? 🤔

How to attempt finding out ?

I have seen, on another forum, people making use of something called "GPT Zero". This I understand is an AI tool that returns a % likelihood that a given piece of text has been generated by an LLM. It was part of the evidence used in banning a recent tiresome contributor on that forum.

I have no idea about videos or images, though.

How reliable is it, though, especially if it is itself an AI algorithm that can hallucinate answers? I’ve seen complaints about such tools from real people being told their work is likely AI.

Possibly, but then, one wonders why programmers wouldn’t put such self-correction into their AI algorithm?

There has been somewhat extensive testing in Universities, for obvious reasons. However, for pretty much all tools the conclusion was eventually that they are not good. They have high rates of false positives, as you mentioned. But in addition, even minor is sufficient to confuse some of the software.

Our school has abandoned that attempt to prevent plagiarism and I think that is or starting to be the overall consensus.
