AI-generated skyscraper trampoline stunt goes viral, fooling viewers into thinking it's real

A clip of a woman leaping from a skyscraper rooftop onto floating trampolines is going viral on Reddit. Based on the physics and impossible setting, the video is almost certainly AI-generated — yet it looks real enough that viewers are taking it literally, prompting a "don't try this at home" caption.
It's a textbook example of today's video-generation spillover: hyper-realistic fake stunt videos are flooding social platforms, often without any AI disclosure, farming engagement off the illusion of real danger.
