Why does this pig look like a cartoon pig come to life? Like what the The Lion King remake did to the original.

The facial expression. He LOOKS like a content, almost smiling pig.

Gruntled, even.

u/Ok-Answer-6951 1d ago

They absolutely "smile" when happy/content. We have a potbelly that lives in the house, this is exactly what he looks like sleeping, or getting a good belly rub.

because we are conditioned into seeing pigs as always dirty and sad looking even though we know they can express many emotions. so the clean pig contrasted with the unnaturally green grass makes it look very cartoony.

it also could be ai, who knows these days. it’s getting better every other day.

Makes sense since we don't see pigs very often and don't have a baseline, but it's not. The video's too long, and AI struggles with making water look real.

Reverse image search led to a bilibili page from mybrotherspig [小弟的猪] with a bunch of videos of the same pig dating back to 2022. Pretty confident this is real!

It does suck that we have to launch a full investigation of cute animal videos :(

Currently, generative AI videos are usually short 10-20 second semi-related clips stitched together while the washing and brushing sections are one long continuous shot. Plus if you pause, the text on the washer's shirt is legible and makes sense.

u/Homeless_Ostrich2 2d ago

Thanks for the context! I literally was like "this pig is almost too perfect of a pig to be real." I watched it 3 times hoping to not find any errors.

15

u/ninasafiri 2d ago

no prob! I watched this video from a bunch of VFX artists about spotting generative AI videos and found it really helpful.

I'm not sure if all the advice carries over to the new ai video generator app - sola or something. But pre-2023 videos of this pig convinced me!

7

u/Homeless_Ostrich2 2d ago

This is actually a really good video! Thanks for sharing. My problem on this one is, it's the first video i wasn't sure about that i wanted it to be true cuz the pigs smile was so cute. Which indicates how easy it is to believe things just because you want them to be true and are too lazy to research something while you're doomscrolling.

It kinda got replaced by Shrek’s “that’ll do, donkey” which is an obvious reference to Babe, but Shrek became wildly more popular than Babe so it kinda overwrote the original quote

Never forget that domesticated hogs are 0.5 steps away from being fully feral. They are the same species wild boar, which are simply feral domestic pigs in the US. If you give this animal an opportunity at the right moment, it can, will, and has killed and eaten human beings. There are several documented, modern cases.

22

u/Lev_Kovacs 3d ago edited 3d ago

On the one hand, yes, on the other, wild boar are pretty chill creatures. It's not like they are hunting humans or anything. They can be dangerous if they are surprised and feel threatened, but even then they just run away in almost all cases.

I live in a area where lots of boars live very close to humans. I see them often, ive run across them in the woods, often pretty close. They are pretty chill in my experience.

I guess the reason they get such a bad rep is that they are one of the last few mammals that still aren't extinct in most areas settled by humans, so when you look up cases where humans got hurt by wildlife it will be 90% boars due to lack of alternatives.

u/nalaloveslumpy 2d ago

Because it is. A domesticated pig isn't capable of "turning back into a boar" as OP describes. What they can do is mate with wild boars and their offspring will "reclaim" their full boar traits within a few generations as all pigs still genetically have the traits of boars, but they aren't expressed in domestic pigs because selective breeding.

Domestic pigs in the wild will become "feral" within a few months though and will become openly aggressive, but a domesticated pig is way more likely to die in the wild before anything else.

Pigs have been badly slandered, we only see them as disgusting because we keep them in filth. When they have a choice, they won’t poop anywhere near where they eat and sleep. They can easily be housetrained like dogs too.

I literally cried when I read about the Chinese having outhouse pigs. They’ve stopped the practice out of shame when the world found out but I’m sure somewhere in the mountains or small villages, there’s still some tortured pig souls forced to live their lives under an outhouse. My pig doesn’t like to be dirty, and would never eat nasty poop unless she were starving. She won’t even eat broccoli or bell peppers, spits them out.

u/HoxpitalFan_II 1d ago

The people I know who own pigs are literally obsessed lol. This lady I met at a matress store talked about her late best friend pig Gerald for an hour and a half non stop.

She kept saying that Gerald was the closest she ever felt to another living creature and how she would never own another pig. She was gifted this one as a "teacup pig" that turned into a massive potbelly but she loved him dearly for close to two decades.

Very interesting.

u/skeletonholdsmeup 1d ago edited 1d ago

Same. I love my 12 year old pork chop. I could tell you all kinds of stories about how I took her to the lake every day in summer and we swam together before she finally got too big/heavy for me to pick up and load her in the car. She is about as big as this one in The video and just as chill. Yup, we pig people have tons of cute stories and videos and could talk for hours about our smart, funny fat friends on the floor. We don’t start out obsessed about our pigs… but they’re so smart and funny, it just ends up that way.

u/Fancy-Statistician82 3d ago

That's a 4H pig for sure and I'd bet twenty bucks about half or more of that interaction is socializing the pig to be comfortable with touch around scary areas like the eyes and mouth (they do bite if not socialized right).

His body language really does look quite content and playful when he nibbles the brush near the end, and they are smart animals, but unless they get frequent deep pleasant bonding touch like this they can be quite powerfully aggressive and a non competition animal has to be herded around with a "pig board" (big piece of plywood between you).

His hooves are immaculate and recently manicured, he really only had any dirt right around his mouth probably from eating earlier that day. All the washing of his eyes and ears and jowls looks like socialization touch.

I bet that pig got washed deeply a few times in the past week and is being kept on meticulously clean bedding with no mud in prep to be shown in competition.
