@abbadon420@sh.itjust.works are you sure this video hasn’t been generated with AI? In that case please tag it as required by rule 9
As @DarkTimez@lemmy.blahaj.zone pointed out, the channel seems to only post generated content
The video looks consistent so it’s hard to tell for sure. It could be that they copied real footage from somewhere else and posted it with the rest.
Timeline:
- The first mention I could find was the AI channel on 7 November: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tyjwfPPyxuo
- Then it was posted on X on 8 November: https://x.com/skithedream_/status/2119550533258387809
- The AI channel posted a short with a similar situation on 9 November: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eNeKJ8vhm34
- It was posted to 9Gag on 10 November https://9gag.com/gag/aj7YDwx
I also find a similar video posted on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/61594683694701/videos/ocean/1395503672656845/
So far I think it’s AI generated. Keeping this up for a bit longer to see if anyone else can spot a definitive sign it’s fake and as warning of how realistic AI content has gotten.
I’m no expert on image editing in general and even less so with AI image generation, but I’m pretty sure there’s some weirdness where the foreground of the boat interacts with the background of the water.
The railing (which dips in and out of view suggesting the ship is flexing in a way that may or may not be one of those “engineering is actually just absurd” things) seems to be overlapped by the background in a manner that looks plausibly like a compression artefact except for the way it moves:
You can also see that some of the specks in the glass (which are consistent from the video start) appear to get “lost” in the background and/or picked up and carried away by it. Particularly note the one in the top left that “flashes” as it passes a brighter area of the background, but the flash starts several frames before they actually overlap.
There are some other slop-ish but non-definitive aspects like this thingy and its wobbly outline:
But in general this is very convincing.
I should stop nerd sniping myself investigating these things.
Ships totally do flex.
Good catch, that does look suspicious

Yeah such huge waves don’t appear on a weather that calm.
Also they do appear out of nothing sometimes but not that fast.
Also the impact was like nothing.
- source: I watched one or two videos of real waves
I found it weid how high the wave became and conveniently collapsed in front of the boat
Yeah I also noticed the cup on the desk acting strangely. Was wondering it this is slop or something else happening.
That’s pretty much the only thing that makes me doubt the authenticity and I hate it.
Nah I’ve been watching wave / ship videos since like 15 years and this video is obviously fake. It’s just far too exaggerated.
the cup falls because the boat appears to be rapidly rocking from the waves which doesn’t seem to be unexpected.
what was odd was the very slight lack of fluid motion of the paper and cup as they moved when everything else seems to flow almost in a slow motion frame of reference.
either way it’s pretty hard to spot it as a fake.
If that’s generated, the temporal consistency is impressive.
Every little detail on the containers stays intact after a full “wipe” of the window. Even the tiny railing on the front
Now imagine people crossing the Atlantic or the Pacific on wooden boats 300 years ago. What the fuck.
They didn’t have AI back then so it was different.
People still do it in smaller recreational boats 10-15m in length.
With GPS and hundreds of years worth of advancements in technology.
and a much, much, much higher percentage of them make it across alive.
The Edmund Fitzgerald went down November 10th 1975. So you don’t have to look back that far.
And that was in the Great Lakes, where the largest waves hit about 30 feet. On the open ocean, the largest waves regularly surpass 80 feet, and can sometimes go over 100
Sailors are a different breed.
Tbf smaller boats will ride the waves rather than crash through them like this. The bigger the boat, the less it rides the waves and the more it just slams through them.
Yeah but imagine experiencing that shit for the first time, in pitch darkness, in the middle of the ocean. No wonder they believed in gods.
crossing the Atlantic or the Pacific
*becoming submarines
poor bastards
It’s starting to make sense how the front could fall off.
Definitely AI generated.
Camera doesn’t make sense. That thing is super stable. Is it bolted to to ceiling, just smack dab over the console and a few feet back from a window? The placement doesn’t make sense for a static mount. If someone was holding it, I would expect a lot more sway and jitter.
Watch the “paperwork” at the bottom of the screen. I could dismiss the coffee cup moving around as a consequence of the ship movement, but paper doesn’t fly up and slap around like that. The general physics of the paper seems to be a simulation of something much stronger.
The camera does actually shift slightly to the left, mostly when the wave hits the window. So if it’s some sort of static mount it’s not a very good one for something like a ship that’s constantly going to have some motion.
Also, the vertical video is more of a cell phone thing. I’d expect a mounted camera would more than likely have landscape orientation. That’s not to say the video wasn’t cropped, but why?
If this is real I’d have to guess something like a phone duct-taped to the wall or something along those lines.
They’re lucky the front didn’t fall off. A wave? At sea? Chance in a million.
Interesting watching that coffee mug
Unfortunately this was taken from a channel that only posts AI content, so… there is no mug.
Came here to point that out too. Weighted mug doing it’s absolute best to stay up
I don’t know if they’d manage in anything extreme like this, but I always liked this design, intended to stay upright in rocking vessels. (Also I’ve only ever seen the design used for decanters and tumblers, not mugs.)
🤯
c/thalassophobia
Seriously, fuck that. I was wondering whether there was going to be air or water on the outside after the foam cleared.
I know of a Twitch streamer who would be terrified of that.
Asmongold because he’s afraid of bathing?
Add in some sharks just to make it worse.
This is a very fitting video today. It’s the anniversary of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The front stayed on.
That’s very typical I assure you.
The full video has the
fuck hit the bollardfront fall off
The way the wave just grows from nothing out of the darkness…
Not what I needed to watch 10 times before bed
Also how the cup does a little fall over then rights itself strangely. AI slop can do things.
I mean are you on a boat right now? If not… being in bed you shouldn’t be worried any rogue waves
So I think the correct phrase here is, “Oh, fuck that…”
Oh how sad, it doesn’t embed the video :(
Worked in boost if I understand what you mean correctly
Im actually surprised the containers stayed on
Looking at the comments, someone pointed out that the blue containers to the starboard don’t make sense.
They make perfect sense. The boat is really really wide and really really long. They’re just close to the camera.
The very close orange containers are higher up, quite a bit even, than the ones you can see in front of them. Same with the blue containers.
I think if anything is weird it’s the fact that I don’t believe that waves break like that out on the open ocean(the seabed is what slows the bottom down, causing the top to be moving quicker), but we also don’t know where they are or how deep the watter is and none of us are experts to begin with.
Waves/swells of that height do exist, though. It’s absolutely fucked how tall they can be out there and it’s crazy how well these boats can keep floating. There was a story of one though, where a hatch at the very front was busted and the empty internal chambers filled. It happened so quickly the entire boat was gone before anyone even really had a chance to react.
Of the stack of papers, only the top one moves and the rest don’t so much as rustle around.
The papers fold over too. And unnaturally quickly I’d say. The way the cup tips over and back looks even less natural.
If you skip around the video, you can see the window slowly moves left the entore time.
The way things “tip” and gravity shifts make no sense with the slow acceleration of a massive boat and how slowly it would rotate.
The way the wave breaks like on a shore, even though this is on the ocean clearly.
The way containers get attached they either don’t move or break loose entirely, but in the video they get pushed around a bit.
I’m pretty sure it’s complete slop.
The cup is weighted on the bottom, that’s why it tips over weird and then rights itself
Paper’s actually pretty good at sucking itself together and not moving if there’s no air being forced between the pages. There’s no breeze in the bridge.
Get in your car with a stack of paper and slam the breaks and the best you’ll get is some sliding, but those sheets are not flat and that’s a massive container boat. They do not change direction quickly or aggressively.
Yeah it looks bizarre. I wonder if it’s a trick of perspective given that we’re quite a bit higher than the rest of the containers in front of us and the blue ones seem closer to our elevation?
Same with the coffee mug
