AI video fail: heart monitor text appears fully mirrored in 'Zombie Anomaly' clip

A Reddit user shared an AI-generated video dubbed "Zombie Anomaly," and the screenshot reveals a classic generative giveaway: every piece of text on the heart monitor in frame appears mirrored—"GOOD" renders as reversed characters, and the digits and readouts are flipped left-right too.
Mirrored text is a well-known failure mode of video generation models: they mimic the look of display screens without grasping text directionality, and clips like this get shared as unintentionally creepy "zombie" moments.
