I know I am only guessing but I would guess AI. Seems too perfect. But at my age, I could be wrong.

I'd guess that the photo has been retouched.   

So far I've been unable to "un-mute" the sound, so ..... ??  [Maybe an age-related pandemic is upon us??]

Certainly AI photos and music, based on his comments about scripting on other videos. The photo is for sure generated because that art/graphic design has it's own style that's recognizable among a lot of AI photo generators. The music is harder for me to tell but the easiest sign for me is the vocals that are too exact, that it likely took one vocal melody and pitched it up and down.

If he wants to take credit for something that sounds good and was low effort, that's fine; I'm sure he gets some enjoyment from the process and from the social media exposure. It's just something that's not worth my time paying attention to, so I just click the three dots and press don't recommend. It just also seems like it shouldn't be the thing we are outsourcing AI to do just because it's cheap, efficient, and streamlined.

Apparently the only original part was the title, which I guess served as the prompt.

It seems bad. I wouldn’t listen to this even if it were human. 1/10.

There are many AI created reels that come up on social media. Some are very convincing (I've been stung by one), but most are easily identifiable because they are too 'perfect', too "smooth". Unfortunately AI is here to stay and we have to navigate around it the best we can. I never buy any product now being advertised on social media.

I finally got it unmuted .... alas don't know enough about music "stuff" to differentiate between real and AI.   The subject matter doesn't turn my crank, but as background music it sounds okay ... to each his/her own??    However, I do like how one of the musicians appears to be a multi-instrumentalist, though the neck of the upright bass in front of the guitar looks a bit awkward to me.

Fwiw, I rarely click on any "reels."   By stuff that's too slick/perfect... I suspect Wayne means like an o-l-d pick-up header coupled to a modern combine, cutting what's obviously standing hay, but nonetheless has plenty of grain flowing continuously from the unloading auger and no residue coming out the back.

BHO should develop an AI that critically reviews AI video and audio posted here.

... or AI that can discern/identify music played on various banjos [recognize the pre-war sound when it hears it........ and all manner of heretofor subjective assessments/pronouncements].  devil

Right now an AI image is immediately recognizable for what it is. That is probably just an early passing phase and it will get harder and harder to detect.
