When AI is asked to generate the Tour de France

[@CheeseFrenzy]

Thanks everyone! I simply cannot believe how many views this has got. I swear at least 60% are me 🤣 It does reward repeated views though; the gift that keeps on giving!

[@zergtoss1]

Haha the living mound of bikes and the dynamic moving crashes are wild and something out of an insane uncanny valley nightmare 😂

He just didn't care anymore.

I remember when Lance Armstrong activated his pocket bomb at 0:31 and won the cup back in ‘99

[@Edlandish]

Not sure what my favourite part is, but I think it's the guy cycling the wrong way, meeting s group, then instantly turning around

[@Slysheen]

If physics were susceptible to peer pressure

[@augustday9483]

You can tell that crashes are more widely spread around the internet, resulting in them being more represented in training data. As a result, the AI really wants to show a bicycle crash.

[@ThomasCoryate]

This is why I gave up professional cycling, I just couldn't handle all the body-horror.

[@apatheticalpaca9678]

This is your therapist, remember Thomas, just breathe in and out and repeat.....my friend crashing and morphing into a sentient pile of metal and meat, was not your fault.

[@irishrOOkin]

That guy meeting all the others realising he was going the wrong direction managed to turn around on the go, rly slick with it But the guy doing curling just when the bikes go by is just a madlad, bet he didnt even scrap the road beforehand

[@kurttank8963]

Half body horror, half bike and furious. Better than most of modern movies

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

I hope bad ai never goes away

[@derkaiser7968]

This is very funny tho

[@creamwobbly]

It never will, because the better they get, the worse the source material gets, _because of all the shitty AI generated garbage that came before._ Read about the Gray Goo. This is the real-world manifestation of that.

AI now is just watching a sport through a funny shaped mirror basically. That's all it can do. It's not even high resolution - it's all blurry.

[@WahrheitMachtFrei.]

This is a particular moment in time when this nightmare version of reality somehow gets churned out by AI, and very soon it will be a distant memory once the tech advances. It's like the first audio recordings on wax cylinder that sound like voices from Hell now.
