Video understanding models still hallucinate on mirror scenes
In reply to a thread about video understanding, the author says the field still badly needs better models. Their example is simple: generate an AI video with a mirror reflection, feed it into an LLM such as GPT-5.6, Gemini, or Fable, and ask whether the scene makes sense.
The result, they say, is that the models produce weird hallucinations and contradictory reasoning. The post is not about a fix, but about the gap between current video understanding claims and actual reasoning reliability in tricky visual setups.
