Im 95% sure that roo is AI. You can see its arm clip through the sitting passenger and then walk where it would seemingly be in a wall off screen. Its fur is also much smoother. It’s honestly a little worrying how far I had to scroll to see anyone comment on it. It does interact with the lighting and have slight reflections, which gave me a little doubt myself.

I read “ai” as “aL” like the short form of Albert. I thought you were saying there’s just a chill kangaroo out there named Al that everyone knows

Nah m8 AL drives a Miata and I’ve never seen the champ without a stubby in his paw bless ‘im.

Heh. Do a search for 'Neil the Seal'. Lives in Tassie. Even has a wiki page. Some good videos.

Totally AI kangaroos don't walk like that, it has a face like a deer and tail is fake as fuck. Source: Australian who has about 20 kangaroos in my front yard right now.

After reading your comment and replaying that part several times, yeah it's AI. Kangaroos cannot move their legs independently and that one did.

You’re right. It’s got the head of a deer and the left arm clips.

u/murbul 17d ago

And the legs and feet are way off

Idk anything but I also thought it looked more like a deers head than the other kangaroos. But I’ve asp literally never seen a kangaroo IRL, know the different species so of them, and don’t know if the best play when stuck with a kangaroo is to just stfu and don’t bother it in a situation like that

You’d be shocked to see a ‘roo in Melbourne, too, it’s a large metropolitan area not known for its kangaroos.

Apart from the AFL team North Melbourne, known as the Kangaroos.

I thought most of the video could be ai...

The term you are looking for is CGI. Not everything is AI

u/Salty_Blacksmith_592 17d ago

Not AI but just classic VFX. Also, the position of it at the end doesn't make sense. If you think about the physics of it, standing where a seat would be would put it head out of the train.

I'll admit I almost reflexively downvoted their comment because I'm sick of the "everything's AI" bandwagon, but this is 100% AI. There are several things off with it, plus it was posted on IG wth "Generated by AI" in the description by an account that has a lot of other weird AI content.

Thank you for vindicating me! Unfortunately you’ve also reinforced my paranoid delusion that birds aren’t real and are in fact generated by AI.
