Is this video real or AI? 🤔 

Even the most advanced AI video models like Sora 2 and Google's Veo 3.1 have a few "tells." Knowing them is your secret weapon, whether you want to avoid AI generated content or make your own. 

Here are 3 dead giveaways:

🤸‍♂️ Unrealistic Physics: Actions like jumping, throwing, or falling are usually problem areas for AI.
👽 Wonky Anatomy: These are getting harder to spot with certain models, but look closely and you'll see a wrist that's turned in an impossible direction.
😳 Awkward Pauses: If you see a video where someone just... stops for a second too long between actions or sentences? That's an easy AI giveaway.

AI video generation platforms like Sora 2 and VO3.1 still struggle with three key areas: realistic physics simulation for actions like jumping and throwing, anatomical accuracy in human body shapes (though the six-finger problem is mostly solved), and awkward pauses in multi-part videos. These limitations stem from AI training on flawed AI-generated content, potentially leading to model collapse. Many creators avoid human subjects entirely, opting for animals or objects with simpler movements.
