Have you seen the popular video of bunnies joyfully bouncing on a backyard trampoline (蹦床)? Adorable as they seemed, the clip was entirely AI-generated. Such fake videos are becoming increasingly common, fooling even careful viewers. As AI tools rapidly advance, distinguishing real content from artificial creations has grown alarmingly harder to do with the naked eye. This challenge hits closer to home than we think, as our parents and kids often face even greater difficulty navigating this digital maze. Yet despite these rising complexities, there are still telltale signs we can learn to watch for.
First, observe facial movements. AI-generated videos often feature unnatural expressions: delayed blinking, stiff smiles that don’t reach the eyes, or overly smooth head turns that feel robotic. Eye direction can also give clues—staring too long, irregular blinking, or looking away at odd moments while speaking.
Lip sync (同步) and audio quality are another giveaway. In many AI-generated videos, mouth movements fail to perfectly match the audio. What’s more, many AI-generated videos use the voice of the person they are imitating, but there are clues to listen for like a robotic tone, unnatural pacing, or background noise that cuts in and out. Sometimes, the voice doesn’t match the environment, for instance, it sounds like the subject is indoors while the person appears to be outdoors.
Pay attention to hands and fine details. AI still struggles with realistic hands—look for blurry fingers, extra digits, or awkward, slow gestures. Clothing and accessories may also have glitches: patterns shifting unnaturally, earrings vanishing and reappearing, or glasses lacking natural shadows or reflections.
While these tips help now, AI continues to evolve. As experts warn, even professionals struggle to tell genuine content from AI-generated fakes. Staying vigilant (警惕的) and learning to spot these slight differences remains our best defense against being misled by AI-generated videos. After all, in this era of synthetic media, a critical eye is more important than ever.
