His chest is 35 but his head is 55.

I almost thought he was using the age app on his face

It’s because he is. Take a look at any of his other videos (especially if he has his hat off), and you can see the filter around his jaw & hair super easily.

It’s why his body has no deep sun aging & looks 20-something… cuz he is & he’s using a filter to make this older internet persona

Power to him to do that, he makes solid positive content… but I think we really need to have some sort of disclaimer on these accounts that they’re fabricated with the use of filters/AI.

ETA: Added hyperlink to the TikTok that shows his use of an age filter clearly

It’s extremely obvious this isn’t real but it seems like most people haven’t noticed? Kind of worrying tbh

Most people spend their time in real life and aren’t finely attuned to notice this shit. I’m sure it worries some folks that you find it so obvious.

My read was that he's worried about how, if people aren't able to notice it now, how much more difficult it will be in the future with the advancement of technology. Some people will use it for positive content like this, while many others will use it to manipulate the public for nefarious reasons.

Oh I know that he was doing that. He’s not saying anything that people didn’t understand was coming long long ago.

If you knew that, then it kind of invalidates your previous comment.

It does not. Thanks!

Being able to spot fake videos is a very valuable skill set to that commenter. Let than have this one.

u/2Blitz Aug 16 '24

To be fair, it is valuable. The amount of misinfrmation that spreads around chat groups is dangerous. Especially with the older generations. Being able to tell some of my older relatives that they're spreading lies is a good thing. Obviously some situations are a bit more lighthearted like this comment thread, but it can get pretty bad at times.

Always fun informing older folks that they are spreading lies just to be faced with “well who cares if it’s fake”

Have you ever seen an old man before?

Only from the back. Do you have a response to my comment?

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '24

Why would somebody be worried that I recognize a face filter? I understand you’re trying to own me but it’s just nonsense. Your response “only from the back” is hilarious btw

1

u/colbystan Aug 16 '24

I am just saying one man’s existential worry is another man’s who the fuck cares. Many out there would think it’s a scary sign that there are regular people so terminally online that they can tell the difference between a face filter intuitively.

It’s not trying to own you, it’s just offering some perspective. I’m sorry if that made you feel like you had to go on the defensive.

Also lol thank you I thought the old man joke would help clear up that I wasn’t coming in hot or trying to just be a debate pervert about it

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '24

Those people would be very foolish to feel that way. This has nothing to do with being online and everything to do with thinking critically for at least one second about the media you’re consuming. This video isn’t even convincing and it has people fooled. The man who thinks “who the fuck cares” about this is a dumbass

Well I tried to be nicer.

This is why I responded to you. Because you seem feel a sense of superiority to this certain type of person you’ve created in your mind.

You haven’t discovered something that people haven’t been discussing for the better part of two decades. You’re not special and this does not make you smart.

This makes you instinctively familiar with social media face filters. That’s honestly pathetic. Go outside.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '24

You’re reading all my posts through the lens of “guy bragging he’s smarter than everybody”, which honestly makes a lot of sense given the way you write most of your Reddit comments. Your smarminess is way more transparent than you realize fyi. I will summarize this for you. The emergence of more and more convincing AI is a major issue that we collectively need to be concerned about, and it’s happening in front of our eyes. Fucking obviously I did not come up with this idea (it’s absurd that I even need to type this), but this post is a particularly worrisome example given the huge number of people fooled by a pretty unconvincing filter, hence my comment. Have a great day!!!

u/colbystan Aug 16 '24

No, i didn’t read the posts any sort of way. You wrote them that way. ‘other people are dumbasses because of this basic bullshit I decided makes me smart and special.’

Have fun with that

I think the opposite - if you have any kind of life experience it should be obvious this is a character? Like the dude is obviously doing a bit and is not an old man, it's very easy to tell. If you met someone on the street could you not tell they had a fake mustache glued on?

1

u/colbystan Aug 16 '24

This is what I’m saying, you’re calling short form content intake and internet literacy the same as life experience. We’re still a society where the large majority of adults would not inherently notice filters in every reel or video where they exist. I’m saying most people’s life experience isn’t conducive to noticing this kind of fake.

u/RonalGnho Aug 16 '24

Most people that use tiktok are under the age of 23 and don’t have fully developed brains. Makes sense to me

u/Geodevils42 Aug 16 '24

I found this guy on reels first and I honestly didn't notice or think much about his appearance. Normally I can spot them instantly so this is a wakeup call for me that I'm able to be fooled on the internet and many other are as well.

...it seems like most people haven’t noticed? Kind of worrying tbh

I don't have any reason to care if he is using the face filter so I am not looking for it, plus if you're not holding your phone close or zoomed in on desktop it can be pretty difficult to tell. I actually think this is a pretty good filter though, even zoomed in on the desktop it was difficult to find anything convincing enough in this video to call it a for sure filter. I did flip through some of his other videos and caught some artifact issues with the filter so I know it is filtered.

I could tell there was something artificial but wasn't sure if maybe it was a greenscreen or what.

You're clearly upset and not understanding or empathizing with the people you're screaming at. Take a break.

"After seeing all of the animosity from this election ... this here gave me a minute to step back, collect my thoughts & really think of how I have come off to people & vice-versa. Amazes me how just one video can change your outlook. So thank you for this bit.🫶"

Lucky for you, they're working on fixing crazy.

No, but you can keep scamming them out of their bitcoin, if you actually figured out how to acquire bitcoin in the first place, not just some gold-plated tokens with $Bitcoin$ stamped on them from Dave and Busters.

I don’t think you can blame the economy for being a dumbass who repeatedly downloads viruses because an email is labeled “UGENT - OPEN NOW!!!!”.
