This is a real “AI” ad from the US government about the end of the mandatory use of the auto start-stop.
This is from the official Whitehouse Instagram.
Only things I can see that gives it away that the video is generated is the red car’s brake lights being on while accelerating. The obvious stereotypes of bule haired lesbians vs the blonde.
Also they have no insignias on the cars but that’s definitely a Prius and idk what the red car is, the red car might not exist in real life.
Spoting generated videos is going to get harder. However if it’s obvious propaganda from the state then you should be suspicious.
It’s impressive for generated video even though it is stupid as fuck. I won’t get too in the weeds about why this is stupid as the point of the post is more about the use of AI in state sponsored propaganda.
Just to get it out of the way, here is why this is a stupid policy:
- [Auto stop helps fuel economy by 7% - 26%](https://www/. consumerreports.org/cars/fuel-economy-efficiency/does-start-stop-function-really-improve-cars-fuel-economy-a1028235974/)
- my 10+ year old car has auto stop, it can be disabled with a button, and if it needs to turn on the ac, the engine will auto start.
- Auto stop has nothing to do with the cost of cars increasing, it’s the regime’s terrible policies and other factors that have driven prices up.
- Hybrid cars like the Prius will use the electric engine at a stop.
- forcing car companies to change features because the US president said so will increase manufacturing costs and prices.
People forget that emissions reduction isn’t just about global climate change but also local air quality. Sure, it doesn’t matter as much in rural areas where there are fewer cars. However, in large cities it adds up and makes air quality plummet. People have a right to fresh air. Idiots are going to bring back smog and increase lung cancer because of a minor annoyance that most people don’t even notice.
You forgot that the only government policy is “owning the libs”.
Pointing out factual inaccuracies is irrelevant when the entire execute branch is bananas.
And science and health experts are largely libs. So owning them involves a lot of self destructive bullshit like making measles great again and polluting everything.
That was a huge difference I noticed after driving an electric car for a few days. ICE cars stink, real bad, we’re all just used to them and we ignore it.
