These rabbits in a springboard are funny. And they are unleashing one of the biggest trusted crises in AI

At some point it had to happen: a wave of people wondering, and the doubt extending virally, about when the images and videos produced by artificial intelligence too realistic so that we cannot distinguish them from reality will be. And above all, what crisis of trust in what we see will take that. And the video that has unleashed the crisis is the most harmless possible: a lot of rabbits jumping in an elastic bed.

Unleashed rabbits. The video is Extremely simple (Just eight seconds): A group of rabbits captured with a security camera that points, during the night, to an elastic bed, have fun taking advantage of the darkness, jumping on it. Result: more than 180 million views, and that the video is obviously false, with a two -headed rabbit at the beginning and two rodents that merge into one towards the end (although a detailed analysis by an expert will make clear the many video problems).

Network movement. The video moved online, and soon jumped to other social networks. Quickly his artifice was detected (and For examplein X he was soon marked by the community’s notes), but his adorable images had more power than their failures. On the one hand, you have to have your eye trained to detect your problems, on the other the poor image quality that adds likelihood and the natural of the movements of rabbits do the rest. And above all, there is, as a huge question, his absolute lack of objective: why would someone want to deceive you with this? And that is the key.

Animals in springboard. Of course, this has generated a Imitors rale (as This beareven more realistic than rabbits, although with an extra problem: the ball seems to be attached to the canvas) that have only underlined the original drama: we laughed at our elders because Ia was cheating on them, but this already affects everyone. There are those who are responding to the rabbits of the elastic bed and their power to make us doubt everything With songs (“Sometimes your love feels as real as an unknown rabbit”) or with the finding of “I am old“It is true, the video has a lot in favor to deceive us (the fixed fund makes the AI do not have to generate precisely what the IAS usually fail), but fear … is real.

The crisis of trust exists. According to AI is sophisticated, we are developing, as a psychological protection, a “crisis of trust” that is already studying with figures in hand. The advice on how to combat misinformation They happen And there are those who affirm that trust is, in fact, The authentic value of the economy of artificial intelligence, above other capacities. It is no longer that AI is ending our confidence in those who have to tell the truth, Like journalistsbut it is making us doubt our perceptions.

According to the daily use of AI shoots, also Our distrust does. It is paradoxical that the apparent inconsequence of a video of animals filmed with a night camera is the first notice. But somewhere you have to start.
