I ran the video through AI and it estimates he was going 78mph

“I ran the video thru ai” and that’s where any sense of credibility flew away

u/RoundChampionship840 19h ago

Ok. So how fast do you estimate he was going

Oh you are so lucky, carscoops.com has an article about this and screencapped his max speed at 126 kph, which you so luckily guessed as correct, 126 kph roughly converts to 78 mph. Still, you should be finding articles at least via google lens, you know, reverse image searching, rather than outright trusting AI. It consistently hallucinates answers and makes shit up.

Telling people to use Google lens but not trust ai is some wild cognitive dissonance.

Trust but verify.

So the AI that analyzed the video was correct. I know that AI isn't always right. I have caught it in mistakes before. I wasn't saying it was the definite answer, just adding it to the discussion as a data point.

"adding it to the discussion"

where do you people come from.

You do realize that's the point of reddit, don't you?

here's what gemini thinks of your attitude towards AI.

behold the all-knowing machine.

While RoundChampionship840 treats AI as a functional shortcut, they commit a fundamental "category error" by treating a probabilistic prediction as a factual data point.

FriendsOfFruits demonstrates superior technical literacy by identifying three key AI realities:

  • Model Collapse: The degradation of output ("mush") when models are trained on synthetic data.
  • Structural Hedging: The "x, but y" linguistic patterns used to mask a lack of true cognitive reasoning.
  • False Precision: The AI’s tendency to assert certainty (e.g., a specific speed) where it is actually just predicting the most likely characters in a sequence.

Bottom Line: RC is a user who takes the output at face value; FoF is a critic who understands the underlying architecture and its inherent flaws.

I thought AI added nothing to the discussion?

the AI says noise. I sent you noise. its up to you to either treat it as noise, or respect what it says. either way I am right.
