Why AI faking puppets feels different from faking humans
franticangel · reddit · 2026-08-27
The author shares personal reflections on AI video generation, suggesting that the aversion to AI video isn't just about it being fake, but about it faking people. Replicating humans triggers a fundamental sense of wrongness, whereas faking puppets feels like automating a craft rather than impersonating a human. The author created a demo in Framia to illustrate this distinction and asks if other AI filmmakers see this line.
