I know of the bird; I just thought this vid of it looks like AI.

Real bird, Japanese. Shima-Enaga.

thanks for the link. I've seen sooooo many obviously fake birds/animals/flowers/weather phenomena posted lately (mostly by my aunt on FB, haha) that it's ridiculous. With how good AI is getting, it's hard to tell sometimes.

But seriously.. some of the videos the "bird feathers" are literally morphing/changing, and these retards still comment "wow, what a cool bird!"- like, are you guys on acid or something?? dafuq?

When I go looking at animal videos on xitter, at times I've almost been caught myself... the AI is ridiculous (if beautiful). It pays to double check everything before posting!

In this instance I already knew about this little flying cottonball, so I knew it really exists. One of the cutest and sweetest birds around.

I'd like a full-length slo-mo motion picture of him and his buddies flying.
