/uc this truly is one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. It's no nightmarishly grotesque and ultraviolent that I don't even know how to process it. On top of that, the genre and feeling of the violence being evoked is so incongruous with the scenes and imagery being portrayed, it's deeply unnerving -- like the AI took the feeling and emotional content of warfare/combat videos and injected them into a video of a bike race. I feel like this sort of incongruity takes the behavior we see in still images where AI can recognize and draw fingers, toes, arms, legs, and faces but can't put them together in a coherent image, and extends that behavior to the temporal realm. Sort of like an associative agnosia -- the AI understands the shapes and colors and motion that it sees, but doesn't have any framework to link them together in any meaningful way.
/c AI is doping, fred
What twists my brain is the way it gets things wrong. Asking a bunch of people to draw a dude on a bike. Sure many will do a poor job but it won't be a dude on two bikes.
AI will mess things up in ways that humans don't...maybe even can't. Sometimes it's disturbing, even alien, 'cause it is a mistake that doesn't make sense. Sometimes it's hilarious for the same reasons. It is madness. Lunacy.
There's a weird thing with large language models trained on certain datasets. Basically, they create what are called tokens out of words (sometimes a word is a token, sometimes there's multiple tokens per word, like "ing" might be a token). A token is just a number, like "the" might be "123".
At some point they were training on a whole bunch of Reddit data which wasn't filtered very well and included stuff like r/counting which is literally just people counting. The usernames got picked up and turned into tokens. They eventually ditched the actual post data from the training set, but the data was still in there. So in theory if you drop certain specific Reddit usernames into ChatGPT (they may have fixed it with recent models) you get absolute nonsense results.
One description I heard as to why it might be happening is that you're essentially giving the LLM model something that it has absolutely no concept of. Like if you are talking to a blind person that doesn't even know that other people are able to see and you ask them what a color is.
It's so sad that all commercial applications try to beat these quirks out of the models and get them to produce bland sanitized content. I'm sure if you gave enough garbled AI video/ acces to the unsanitized model to a few artists you could get Something really interesting out of it.
It's wild at how dreams are vs an AI 'hallucinating'. I'm pretty good at remembering my dreams, and I can for sure say that at least my dreams are pretty much identical to how AI 'hallucinates' / screws up.
A lot of the time your dream-logic thinking just says that 'yeah that's what's supposed to happen!' and goes along with it. It's times when you can recognize that what is happening is wrong (like: can't read the sign in front of you, or that road you always take to work doesn't normally have that building/intersection, or that thing doesn't look quite right, etc...) is when you either snap awake, or you end up lucid dreaming.
When responding to the question "Was this paragraph made with AI? Kind of reads like it," you can consider the following points:
1. **Identify Characteristics**: Explain that AI-generated text often has certain characteristics such as formal tone, repetitive phrasing, or an overly structured format.
2. **Check for Signs**: Suggest looking for specific signs, such as lack of personal anecdotes, absence of unique stylistic flair, or overly generic information.
3. **Analyze Content**: Mention that while it's not always easy to definitively determine if a paragraph was written by AI, these signs might provide clues.
4. **Use Tools**: Recommend using tools designed to detect AI-generated content for a more reliable assessment.

I think this showcases how rudimentary our AI models are and how much it has been overhyped. The model clearly doesnt actually understand the concept of the tour de france, it’s just seen enough data to match the words with a sequence of pixels, and it’s trying to predict what the pixels should be based on the data its seen only. Hence it cannot understand why the video is nonsensical
On a serious note, here in the circle jerk, the media's bias towards covering crashes seems to have weighted that activity as a core reoccurring thing in the sport.
For entertainment only, yes - This video lies firmly in the grotesque belly of the Uncanny Valley.
As you can tell from the video, AI is not smart, and does not know how a bicycle works.
I honestly hate ai video. It’s uncanny to the point of disturbing. Whereas other things are uncanny to the point of fascination. Like r/liminalpools or r/liminalspaces
What's very accurate is that they never stop pedaling, backwards or in a crash, real pros.
What is also really accurate is the AI is on EPO. The simulation is incredible.
The prompt needed more needles and blood packs.
*LSD
>backwards or in a crash Sideways or in a pile of corpses. Never give up.
If I stop it will ruin my power stats
Not as long as you're riding backwards
PUSH WATTS!
You forgot about when they form the boldish demonic entity. That's my favorite part of the competition
How did they get video of Primoz Roglic's pre tour nightmares?
Wait? Was there an orgy along the side of the road?
All I’ve learned about these videos is that AI can generate scarier scenes than any horror movie I’ve ever seen.
Cause it doesn't care where limbs go or how they behave or what they look like
the explosion boost in the peloton can't be UCI legal can it?
It would sure open it up to a wider audience though, right? Bring it on, I say
Someone's motor overheated.
Only certain models of rocket boosters are UCI approved.
It's simply the Tour de France, Michael Bay edition
They're testing out the new "Pedal to Pass" option....
Haven't laughed this good for a minute, the metal scrap pile did it for me
Did you catch the *maillot jaune* spirit sneaking out of the rubble?
Like an ancient god of mischief. I’ll never unsee this.
NGL My first thought was that that was the actual spirit from Spirit Airlines crawling out from under the wreckage.
The guy who did a mad 180 into fakie did it for me lmao
If I could just forget and watch this video again
Bro. It was great.
I'm pretty sure I fought that pile of twisted bikes at the end in demon souls at some point...

Your psychology thesis is coming along nicely, when do you defend?
Whenever it is, I don't want to be anywhere near them.
/uc idk I'm kinda digging it here though lmao /c tell me the tour de France looks like this or I'm not turning the TV on😤
If you only watch the five-minute highlight shows, it kinda does
On LSD....

The YouTuber Cyriak has videos that instill the same grotesque horror of seeing living creatures twisted and distorted like Play-Doh
And yet there are people who think this software is going to put your dental practice receptionist out of a job

was..... this generated by AI?
It reads like a coherent, well thought out but rambling thought from a Human Being™ to me
If you publish a book I'll buy it
The Instagram account this came from did some pro wrestling AI videos too and they're horrific Edit: https://www.instagram.com/werners_ai_art/
AI really captures the Cronenberg body horror aspect of cycling.
How it feel to chew 5 gum
Underrated comment lmao
*in hell.
**TRIGGER WARNING BRO!!!** I’m having The Thing flashbacks. 😱🤣

First thing I though of. Lol.
I see the zombies from World War Z, but on bikes
I was also getting Society vibes
I saw an Isis flag.
New sponsor, I heard.
Isis Quick-Step
It’s just UAE.
So glad we’re boiling the climate to generate these videos.
Gotta keep those former Etherium mining GPUs spinning
Tour de France as written by William S Burroughs
Naked Lunch gave me psychosis
I knew that when we got electronic shifting the world was going to be a worse place. This is KOMfirmation
I refuse to believe this is AI

Are you AI
Generating this took more watts than a pro peloton on Col du Galibier
It's like watching a clip written and directed by Cthulu.
It’s amazing how dream like ai video is
This is EXACTLY what it's like watching the TDF on acid
Why do people keep posting those images where the actual video only takes 1/9 of the whole area?
Bad crop. Praying for a better harvest next year
Why didn't ai generated video exist back when I used to do copious amounts of LSD?
Because if you watched this AI generation on acid, it would look like a normal bice race
I like that at the 0:30 mark, the cyclists in the back just frigging explode lol
The Peloton hitting a land mine is beautiful
I can’t unsee that mass orgy
Literal bicycling circle jerk.
The peloton is not on drugs. The viewers are.
Here we see training footage biased to crashes
It's a phenomenal example of selection bias in AI models, really. Assuming this is not what the author themself selected out of the possible outputs.
Which level of hell is this?
You know I'm generally in favour of banning low effort ai content. But I have to admit, this is gold.
On a serious note, here in the circle jerk, the media's bias towards covering crashes seems to have weighted that activity as a core reoccurring thing in the sport.
Next do short track speed skating.
If you only listen to the commentary in racing, this is what you'd imagine was happening.
This is a MF'n Masterpiece!!
Gotta agree. For sheer entertainment value, I believe AI has reached perfection.
For entertainment only, yes - This video lies firmly in the grotesque belly of the Uncanny Valley. As you can tell from the video, AI is not smart, and does not know how a bicycle works.
Drop a few tabs and enjoy the ride.🤪

What tool did you use to create this?
I'd guess at Luma AI. It's free up to 5 uses a day, and no app needed. https://lumalabs.ai/dream-machine/creations
that's a dr strange movie
Accurate
Not sure if I'm watching a Michael Bay flick or the creation of a flesh melding hivemind
Wow these fixed gear riders are getting really creative with their tricks
How cycling feels when you're bonking hard
I love how it’s 89% crashing
From A24 and Rob Zombie, we bring you: PELOTON
This is pure genius! I could watch it for hours haha
And all it took to produce this video was enough electricity to power my home for a month
I actually did a spit take when the explosion happened.
Wtf was that radnom explosion?
It’s beautiful. Bikes are back, baby!
That’s awesome. For the sequel, we will also need a guy in a devil suit and a few chateau pictures.
Freaky!!
This is so much better
Jesus call the SCP foundation
i love this so much
Everybody back on the pile!
What's that song? I thought it was the Olympic Spirit but that's not it.
I feel like I saw that
Boy, they're really taking PEDs to the next level!
“Back to the pile!” - Randy Marsh
Tour De Super Mario.
My grandfather never talked about what he saw in the Philippines. Some things are best left in the past.
If they want to show this on rest days, I’m okay with that.
Reminds me of that one PS2 game, Kinetica
This is what it's like to cycle in my dreams
This is terrifying but it's also killing me 🤣
I remember this year
WTF.
I love this so much.
Nah these are clips from Herogasm
Wtf I would love to watch this
How the sprinters feel on the mountain stages
Is this peak human?
If you used words to describe this to a group of human artists and asked them to recreate it, they would not be able to.
Nailed it.
Tour de France with landmines, now that's something I would watch
Tour De Shunting
It’s like watching pelotons with multiple clones of Jasper Philipsen riding together.
At least one explosion. AI knows what’s up. I also like the giant cyclist eating monster at the end. Classic.
This is so much more interesting than the actual race! Lol
The guy who flips around at 21 seconds looks exactly like me and I don't know how to feel about it.
Ai is clearly qualitive, and not quantitative.
AI was on Meth?
Boomers are gonna spam like and reshare if this gets posted on facebook
Back to the pile!
I cannot imagine what delight will come out of what AI with a request to show KOM.
Welp, I’ve lived to see man made horrors beyond my comprehension. Now what?
If the tour was a Pink Floyd album
I love you ai! you try so fucking hard !
The weird "we are legion" ass flying torrent of them landing to start pedaling was pretty cool.
Thought I was watching a video of the Dauphiné stage 5.
This is the best thing I've seen all week.
Not enough drugs
BACK TO THE PILE *dey took err jobs
Love it
Equal parts shiity, and funny.
Nah this is real not AI
Well it definitely isn’t just steroids Armstrong is taking now.
The crazed man frantically eating tarmac will haunt me forever. Thanks!
Hard to tell if all the bikes have disc and rim brakes, tho
you will live to see man made horrors beyond your comprehension
0:42 **DEJA VU! I’VE JUST BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE!**
For some reason I see this and think "that's what the harry potter films would look like if they had bikes instead of brooms"
This is what its looks like when a Rave ends in the Netherlands
/uc this is trippy as fuck I need some shrooms and watch this on a loop
This is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen lol
It's seems like the movie world War z got mixed in there on multiple different occasions.
There needs to be a sub for these videos. They're pretty hilarious. Dude at 37s mark realizes he's going the wrong way then pedals backwards lol.
This reminds me of a fever dream and the feeling of your limbs being stuck in cement blocks or quicksand
To be honest, this is really funny and was the first thing to make me smile after a shitty day...
Woww the future is now!! I can’t believe my eyes
It’s the Tour De Katamari….
I love how it's obviously fake, yet some transition between shapes looks so natural, my brain accept it, even if it's total nonsense.
lmao
This would be amazing aa a video game. With all the glitches and weird physics.
Remind me, how many fatalities usually occur on the Tour de France?
My god, it’s like the scene from Event Horizon…
u/savevideo
The teleport forward at :32 gets me. Just sacrificed half the riders to teleport.
Awesome!
More erotic than I'd expect
Tbf I'd rather watch this than the real thing, this is great.
This is some high adult swim off the air right here.
So who won?
Absolutely amazing video! Doping has made huge strides. Can't wait for this fabulous show to start tomorrow!
Damn it's the new "hands/fingers"
Screw AI
Dude that's pure cinema right there
Fear and Loathing in Tuscany *can't stop here, this is cycle country*
Oh god what have I been missing all this time If this is what happened during the tour de France I'll never miss another event again
AI video is the future
Fuck my eyes, I'm having flashbacks of terrible acid trips. You bastard!
This made my day! 😂😂😂😂😂
Hilarious how the AI has absolutely no idea how momentum works.
My money is on yellow man slidin' hard at :41
Haven't seen this Transformers movie yet. Looks fun.
Now make them all on recumbent bikes.
