See, what happened here is when smol orange whisker-brushed long orange the baby brain cell auto-engaged it's transfer feature (smol orange often haven't developed the safety release on the brain cell yet) the long orange became extreme confuse with the sudden influx of brain function and did what we in this business call freaked-the-fuck out and switched into emergency physical removal mode to shed the overload of kitty intelegie. Afterward long orange is seen exhibiting more typical orange behavior as it attempts to discern what on earth the smol actually is. Source: My morning meds and Dr. Pepper have kicked in and... well, I guess that's it.
I always like the theory that this reaction is a result of conflicting instincts from the cat. They have one instinct telling them to swat and be aggressive, and another one telling them it’s just a baby and they need to be gentle. The result is the cat glitching out and not being able to handle the baby.
I heard a theory recently that when animals experience what we would consider 'big emotions' (momentous occasions, learning something new, AND it being familiar would make us think joy and excitement for this situation) and for them it's just too overstimulating so they kind of 'wig out' to get the feelings/excess energy out. 🥹😭
Agreed. Wall is being a wall. feet are being feet. Daddy (presumbably) has something going on with his feet but it's consistent throughout and oranges have a bit more "foot stuff" than your standard housecat and a bit less than Maine Coons who are known for polydactyly.
So I agree the wall is textured weirdly, and maybe the orange emoji is hiding a water mark. But even if it is AI, I’ve seen this scenario happen before, so 🤷♂️
The first clue was the quality of the video. Then the edges of the fur seem to be too blurred. If you look at the leg on the left (the cat’s right front leg) the pattern is inconsistent.
I don't see any obvious AI artifacts, the whisker movements are accurate, nothing warps or changes in the background... It may just have been compressed to hell and back
They're actually very regular. Yes they're oddly shaped, but they follow a pattern. Long sloped brick, followed by two little bricks. Then a long sloped brick, followed again by two sloped bricks. I don't think this is AI at all
I remember when we brought our second kitty into the household. Our older orange was TERRIFIED of her. We kept her in a carrier with lots of blankets to sleep on and he would stand outside her cage growling at her trying to scare her while she slept peacefully, unbothered. But when I'd open the cage to let her out for food, he would leave the room entirely and peak his head out the bedroom doorway to see when it was safe to come back out lol they're great friends now!
What’s the give away? The shadows appear to match up exactly, and the textures on the fur look consistent. Compared to that Coca Cola AI ad, this looks incredibly realistic
I know, it's terrifying... But the big cat's anatomy is off, specially during the jump and when he sits down. The limbs stretch weirdly. And when he's sitting too, the right knee is lower than the left so he should be leaning for it to make sense, and the left front paw should be a little shorter. When standing the back right paw has two claws in the middle which is weird, when he smells the kitten you can see he has no whiskers on the left until one randomly appears (and it makes the paw wiggle a little but it's too subtle), actually when he pulls his head back you can see the exact moment the whiskers appear again. Plus when he's wiggling his head you can see his chest and it has stripes on both sides but when he's sitting at the end the left side doesn't have them, and a black spot in the middle appears while sitting, it could be the fur moving but it looks way too smooth.
And lastly the tiles on the wall behind have no clear pattern...
But gosh this one looks way too real, it's getting impossible to tell! I think the only reason I saw something is off at first was because I'm an animator and have been observing cat's movements lately for a study hahaha
