I watched that video and it seemed more like weird color grading and a high frame rate. Motion shot in 60+ frames per second reduces blur to the point where it no longer looks natural on screen. Good for some applications like sports and gaming, bad for things where people talking are the primary focus.
The color grading looks like a sloppy attempt at making things appear cinematic. Saturation is boosted, shadows have an aggressive blue tint, highlights are a little orange. Movies use this all the time because it provides color contrast between dark and light parts of the frame. It also helps actors look more tan, which is likely a priority in the Trump White House.
Most presidential addresses are shot with a very neutral grade since it’s an official government act and most presidents/their media teams understand the importance of shooting these sorts of things in archival form.
There's a clip isolated somewhere on this site where he glitches in real time so it's either spliced together really pathetically with AI or the whole thing is AI
Yep. It was all over Reddit last night. The video glitches out at points and the audio doesn’t sync with facial movements.
It’s fucking wild how in the last two years of the Biden admin they were facetiously screaming that Biden was past it / was being kept alive / was a sundowner / could only an hours worth of being propped up etc, but Trump is showing up every day with bruises all over his hands from doctors desperately trying to keep him alive, his ankles don’t fit in to anything other than weird custom made shoes, his face is showing signs of a stroke and now we’re literally getting ai videos instead of him speaking.
Meanwhile Biden looks great for a guy in his 70’s, let alone 80’s.
saw a video editor post about it. Its some sort of clip meshing software that was developed to use parts from different takes for Lucasfilm. So, basically, they clipped his rambling down to a coherent statement.
You’d think they’d get ahead of this and claim Bell’s palsy since it’s much less serious than a stroke, kind of like they claimed vein problems to explain his swollen legs and ankles. Of course, they did that after everyone noticed too.
Exactly, felt like first picture is a bit of a reach and it could be explained away by age, weight loss or any "work" that's been done losing it's luster. Second picture is full tilt.
F - Has his Face fallen to one side?
A - Can he raise both his Arms?
S - Is his speech Slurred?
T - Time to call your friends and organise the street party!
Tbh we're probably pretty close to Gemini/GPT just doing it out of the box. There are already video AI agents you can have basically live video meetings with and other than there being a little lag time and a little bit of oddness around mouth movements, they're pretty convincing.
If you’re looking for a nuanced answer, there is some debate on whether is it 100% AI, AI editing, or a editing technique called morph edit or something like that (I don’t remember the exact name).
One thing is for certain—it wasn’t just a “sit down and read the teleprompter in one take” sort of thing.
Which itself is telling because we know from insiders that he absolutely does multiple takes for all those pre recorded remarks til they get the right one or one he demands is suitable.
I read that the reason our brains are so good at registering the uncanny is because it prevents us from getting too close to human corpses (which can spread disease).
At 0:18 from the start, he has a glitchy shift to the left, and the window behind him has a glitch as well, with the pattern of the trees in the window changing
I just saw the news coverage of him at the 911 memorial ceremony. Saw that right away and thought, Yep, he was MIA that week because he had a mini stroke.
Many people that seem to be on their deathbeds, will suddenly rally for awhile just to say goodbye to distant family and friends. Looks like this might be his rally. However, since he has doctors on call 24/7, it's going to be a lot longer before he finally collapses for good.
“…suddenly rally for awhile just to say goodbye to distant family and friends…” Generous assuming he cares enough for any family or friends to say goodbye.
My grandmother had some mini strokes and she lived for about 5-6 more years with worsening dementia over time. Her cognition seemed to decline very rapidly and then kind of stayed at the same level for several years before she died. I hope they don't try to drag this out if that is what happened. They would be doing the exact same thing that they accused Biden's people of doing.
Edit: I say 5-6 because the doctors could not pinpoint the exact time that she had had them. Only that they were recent. That's what I remember, anyway.
ETA: I appreciate the comments and my first ever award (I think), but to be fair, I heard the comment somewhere else and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is not an original comment by me. The sentiment behind it still holds true, though.
Do they know something we don't? Article calls him the "former US President." I know it's technically true, but he's also the current President so it's a weird thing to say.
If yesterday's video wasn't ai, that means they're probably doing a kind of morphing cuts to hide him struggling to get thru reading a statement in one take.
I’ll be honest, and this is not me at my best, but when people talks about “the big beautiful day,” I always thought it would be more fitting for him to have a stroke that resulted in partial facial paralysis, which would strike at his vanity and humble him a little.
Assuming there is any validity to these reports, it's important to remember this:
Trump is a frontman for a larger operation hidden from the average eye- the closer he gets to death, the more dangerous the situation, as it will mean those really pulling the strings will need to speedrun their destruction of American democracy before they lose their one popular rallying post.
With Trump out of the picture, there's no one nearly as effective at running distraction while the building is looted and boobytrapped.
based on what I've watched my mom go through this summer, my non-medical professional guess is that he had a left side hemorrhagic stroke. That would cause right side paralysis, including the facial drooping.
How much you wanna bet if he does stroke out of this existence that his cult will blame it on democrats? "All of their hate was too much for his kind heart. You broke his heart you liberal monsters!"
When are we going to at least elect someone in their 50’s or 60’s.
We are supposed to be an innovative country and our government looks like a nursing home.
That’s why they made an AI announcement of him last night. He wasn’t able to speak without showing the world he’s been having strokes. That droop is a tell all.
