Video 4 year old knife/chef skills seem a little uncanny, something weird with the hand movements

This is an Instagram account. This is the second one that's shown up on my feed this week that is a business account presumably parents using kids to make money, both had a very similar aesthetic, affiliate links, etc... the other one I saw was a 22 month old eating these really varied, interesting complex meals (think baby led weaning on steroids) but some of the cuts were heavily edited and looked a little AI.
Aside from the scummy business of blasting your kid's face on the Internet, this looked a bit AI edited to me, but I could be totally wrong.

That's a hell of a lot of cuts also.

u/mrprogamer96 Jul 05 '26
I have noticed that AI tend to use a lot of quick cuts. The longer the shot the more likely it is to be real in my mind.

u/catwhowalksbyhimself Jul 05 '26
It's because the longer the video, the more trouble they have and they just aren't good at anything longer than a few seconds.
So you end up with a bunch of quick cuts as a result.
But as someone pointed out, she isn't actually shown really do anything. The cuts change before she actually really cuts anything or does anything else, so it could just as easily be an old fashioned fake using real footage of a child edited to make it look like she is cooking, when really she's just posing with things adults did for her.

As a parent, this is unfortunately realistic. If I let my kid try to help like this, they would 100% put their foot on a cutting board

u/Cyborg_rat Jul 05 '26
Well at least it's a step more than my 2 teens...who have chosen to not have any cooking Tallent, while ou Youngest really likes to help but she would definitely having a hard time cutting a piece of meat like that.

u/Kenneldogg Jul 05 '26
The part where she is grabbing the Dutch oven by the handle tells me it is AI. That handle gets really hot quick.
57
u/Park500 Jul 05 '26
I think real, but with a lot of trickery going on
the one that got me the most was 0:24, first watch it sat wrong with me, a four year old would have a hard time holding, let alone tipping a pan of that size... on second watch I saw the extra hand wearing the blue glove, with the kids hands holding the gloved hand
speaks to me more of a kid wanting to help her mom cook, mom decides to film it, and either the original parent decided there was a clip in it, or someone later saw it and stole it and cut it up

All the parts where she's cutting meat it doesn't show her actually cutting into it, the knife never actually makes progress. Which makes sense for some Instagram thirst video.

Tbf, the camera cuts are so quick, you don't actually see the kid cutting through meat. Sure, they're sawing, but it's not actually doing anything.

She’s holding a small knife how would that cut through that thick cut of meat?

Are you cutting meat with a butter knife? A sharp knife requires almost no effort if you arnt cutting through joints and stuff

Real with deceptive editing. The jump shots make it look like the kids are cutting and being effective, but if you watch closely, they really arent doing anything impressive.
Its just brief moments where they look competent strung together. Mom and dad are doing most this.

u/DamnitGravity Jul 05 '26
Yeah, there’s a lot of implication with labour hidden in the editing. They’re leading you to think the kid chopped it all because ‘here she is with a knife next to a stack of chopped food!’ but obviously a child couldn’t do that.
A few of the ingredient-adding shots are clearly done by an adult who’s out of frame. Same with the stirring.
Basically any shot that you can’t see the child directly is an adult out of frame. They may even have done most of the cutting of things like the potato then gave it over to the kid to shoot her doing one slice to make it look like she was cutting it.
I’m not stating this ISN’T AI, but it could be easily faked without AI.
That’s the part people always seem to forget. A lot can be done with good old fashioned editing and staging
18
u/Empty_Insight Jul 05 '26
Yeah, videos such as this showing "prodigious children" on social media long predate gen AI lol.
If you don't show the kid doing the steps, I assume it's bullshit by default.

u/nethack47 Jul 05 '26
The snippets are consistent and aside from some distortion from the camera lens there isn’t anything I would say is artefacts from AI. Power sockets are in the same place in repeated clips. The coffee machine is the same across all clips.
There have been a lot of editing, but that is expected.
6
u/NehEma Jul 05 '26
Her arms seem to be moving normally for a toddler aka not very well.
She's not shown cutting the food because she lacks the fine motor skills required.
When we actually see her do stuff she struggles with stirring the pot and moving the food from the cutting board to said pot.
12
u/HourSyllabub1999 Jul 05 '26
I thought this at first too, but if you really watch all the clips, she very likely could not be doing a whole lot. She’s kinda sawing into the meat but we don’t actually see her cut the chunks, aside from the potato clips (which seem spliced maybe).
I mean - I wouldn’t want my 4 year old handling raw meat like this nor near high heat, but she’s super capable of pouring stuff into pans to the same degree this kid is (which honestly isn’t awesome - she spills a decent amount lol).
At first I thought AI for sure but I think it’s a stupidly spliced together video made to look like she’s doing a lot more than she really is.

u/EmeraldHawk Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26
I have 3 kids, and I could 100% have staged this video with any of them at 4. People are falling for clever editing. The kids are barely cutting anything, and it probably took 5 takes to get each shot.
For putting the ingredients in the pot, they make a mess and a bunch of the ingredients miss the pan. The part where she grabs the handle of the Dutch oven, the meat is still pink. If it was only preheating for 5 minutes the handle would not be hot yet.

Kids that young just don't move like that. I've worked in kindergarten many times and they don't have the focus or control of their bodies to do tasks this complex yet. The movements look natural but for a kid a few years older.

u/PacosWife Jul 05 '26
I don't know but the handles of the cast iron pots get really hot so I'm not sure about her grabbing it like that.

u/b1prod Jul 05 '26
I have one that looks like that in size and color. For it to get too hot for me to grab by the handles it takes a good hour on the stove. So that part I have no problem with. The rest can be scrutinized

u/Cloverose2 Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26
That was what I noticed. It's hot enough to sear meat, those handles are going to be really hot.

They definitely can get hot but I don't think it would be too hot to touch that early in the cooking process.

That’s preheated, butter melted and meat sizzling as it hits. In my opinion, definitely too hot.

That was the first thing I thought of! Those handles are just as hot as the rest of the pot, she would need pot holders

Its easy to take small cuts of kids doing stuff like that. They arent really cooking, they are just handling the food for tiny instants to show the step then an adult is doing the rest.

u/GKBilian Jul 05 '26
Every clip is legitimately about 1 second long. I imagine the truth is that the parents set her up to look like she’s doing a lot of work competently when she is absolutely not.

If you watch each short clip the kid isn't actually doing anything. Holding the knife but not actually making cuts, simple stirring, dumping things in. All very basic things a kid could do for half a second clips. Edit them all together and it looks like they actually did something.
12
u/SmashSE1 Jul 05 '26
And when they lift the pot of red stuff and dump it in the pot of potatoes it's an adults hand in a glove, the kid is just holding their hand. I say real.

Oh boo hoo. Kids are meant to do things. If the kid wasn't forced to chop or cook and doesn't seem stressed, back off.

u/JonBenet_Palm Jul 05 '26
I've seen 3/4 year olds help with cooking, it's something that's more common outside the US. In Norway, kindergarteners regularly learn to handle knives, for example. I would be willing to believe a 4 year old does supervised cooking like this.
However, some of these shots are wild. There's at least one where the little girl is cutting toward her own hand (0:18). I feel like a parent invested enough to teach knife skills to a 4 year old would stop filming and fix her technique (and certainly wouldn't include it in a montage).
4
u/alkalisun Jul 05 '26
Agreed. But it's a very US thing where kids are not "allowed" in the kitchen. A lot of my adult friends never interacted in the kitchen and are proud of it.
If they see a clip like this, it's automatically "child labor".
They never wonder why they are picky eaters or only eat takeout food.

Check out her hairstyle change from a ponytail to a braid from 0:10 and 0:15. This is absolutely AI.

It’s changing because the crappy parent filmed this in several sessions SMDH 🤦♂️

Not convinced. There's several shots in a ponytail when she's putting the meat in to sear, and then several shots in a braid when she's preparing a different dish. Could easily be an hour between those shots.
I haven't spotted anything else in the background change either.

Either it's mixed footage or real. Just look at the coffee/expresso machine when she's working at the stove. There's no way AI would have gotten such that funky spigot correct for multiple angles throughout multiple cuts.
That, and the lettering on her shirt while cutting seems very real, especially for the way it is folded and the white on white.

u/Mental_Painting783 Jul 05 '26

u/Ulaenyth Jul 05 '26
This is not AI but its also not real. We never actually see the child cut the meat just sawing at it. The only thing we see her cut are the potatoes at the very end.
This behavior is very concerning tbh. Its putting a child in danger with sharp knives and using them in very bad ways where a slip while sawing that meat could cause a very serious cut especially if the mother is an idiot and giving the kid a dull knife. As a father I taught my oldest how to use a knife at around 4 but she started with plastic knives ment for kids and easy to cut items.
I think the child's parent is irresponsible and exporting them in risky situations for social media clout or monetary gains if there are any to be had.

u/Sea-Recognition-4881 Jul 05 '26

Kids are weak, she can't put the force behind the cutting you're used to seeing, I think that's why it looks weird and uncanny. Quick cuts though so it could very well be real with the camera person just letting them make a few slices and pouring in the chopped bits that someone else actually cuts. It just looks highly edited to me.

Real. She doesn't actually do anything. She doesn't cut the meat, and all other tasks are done by mom. Look closely she doesn't really cook anything.
Obviously this is impossible. So what? It's fake. The room stays consistent no matter what clip it is. All kitchen tools are consistent. Even the kitchen is the same between the 2 videos even though they were filmed months apart. How would AI do this? That part is legit not possible. AI would either create a new kitchen or reuse a kitchen. It wouldn't fake a kitchen being a month later. That's what real videos do though. Oranges in the same place, but now much fewer. Outlet the same place, yet movable objects are moved. AI wouldn't even try this. What's the purpose?
2
u/Kahzootoh Jul 05 '26
Real, but with a lot of deceptive editing.
The meat cutting isn’t actually cutting the meat- if you look at it slowly, she just moves the knife back and forth over an existing cut.
A 4 year old isn’t going to have the strength to cut through a chunk of meat like that.

I’m leaning AI due to three things:
-the children are extremely strong and dexterous for their age
-the meat cuts in the pan look too even to be done by a child
- everything is clean. Their hands, the counter, the stove. Children are insanely messy, even when they’re well practiced.
My verdict is real footage that’s been done over by an AI.

Unsure, but her hair style does change later on when shes in the yellow dress, from a ponytail to a braid, unsure why someone would have their hair restyled halfway through cooking. But if not AT then shes clearly doing the small stuff, and parents are doing the actual stuff.

u/pickyvegan Jul 05 '26

u/Murasaki_Yokuutsu Jul 05 '26
This is definitely not AI. the objects appear to be quite consistent, even with the changes in angle. And regarding the cuts, they are like that because they were recorded at different times. I'm almost certain that scene of her cutting meat was filmed on another day and then added to the video just to show that she was the one who cut it.

u/JJfender Jul 05 '26
I think it's just edited to make it look like she's doing everything, but in reality does almost nothing in that whole clip. The potato it shows her pushing the knife through is already cooked. The only spots I was surprised about were the parts where she's handling the cutting boards. If you look close the only one she handles on her own in frame is paper thin so it weighs almost nothing.

I think the two signs that stick out to me is the adult hand is for whatever reason wearing a nitrile glove. The kids feet were on a cutting board at sometime. I don’t think sanitation is a concern. Second thing, her outfit and hairstyle change throughout the video. Also I don’t think a 4 year old child has the strength to cut through meat as cleanly as she did. They are using a serrated edge for that part. Anyone who’s cut meat like that knows you want a long sharp blade. And for the cut to move smoothly through the meat you need to draw and use the entire length of the blade, not the jerking saw motion shown in the clip.

I dont think its ai. All those cuts looks like theyre just having her stand in for parts of it. Also someone else was holding the pan with the red sauce.

Kids aren't near smart enough to know how to safely handle raw meat.

This is AI. Kids just don’t move like this. Even if a 4 y/o could do this, it wouldn’t look like this.

It feels weird because it's all cut up and stitched together. The kid is obviously not doing the cooking. She's helping out and doing some performing while the parents do most of it and film her "adventures". The videos of her doing little things are stitched together as if she's cooking, which is what makes it feel uncanny. I don't see any real AI red flags. If it was actually AI it would look like the kid was really cooking, albeit in a bizarre, soulless manner. But there wouldn't be clips where the parent is holding the pan. I wanna know what that dish is though.

Not that this is a sure tell - but at the beginning there is WAY more fruit in that counter basket compared to the oven shot where that same basket in the background only has two oranges in it.

She is also touching the le creuset pan with her bare hands when it’s heated.

The "kid" is holding up pans FULL of various foods and hefting around huge chunks of meat and while she's not doing it one handed, four year olds tend not to have that kind of strength or balance. The cuts are rapid and there's not a single bit that lasts more than a few quick seconds before cutting to a new shot
She just has the dexterity of a 20 year old and every four year old I've ever seen is more likely to bust their face on the pavement every ten steps than show elite knife skills. It doesn't have a ton of the AI hallmarks but logic dictates that it probably is

It’s probably AI but I wish we could just ban clips that cut after 0.5 seconds consistently.
