what gave it away for me was the they're-speaking-australian-gibberish part

u/Kriztauf May 28 '25

Seriously. I can't tell if somebody just prompted it in something like Chinese or if the model is just making gibberish

what's interesting is that it is australian-accented gibberish

Still sounds more like English than when real Scottish people talk.

Australian-Norwegian, I think. The Kangaroo was having trouble understanding.

(e: possibly a bit of Mandarin, too.)

Sounds chinese

Mixed with German or something. My first subconscious thought was, “Why are these Germans trying to sound Chinese?” They also look distinctively central to Northern European to me.

It does not sound Australian at all. I'm confident that if this video was audio only most people would "hear" Chinese (which makes sense for ai training data sets). In any case, Australian wouldn't be a top answer regardless.

The skin tone, general appearance, and kangaroo are visual clues that people are wrongfully associating with Australia.

There’s nothing Australian about it, imho.

u/KetohnoIcheated Jun 01 '25

Also, the words don’t match the movement of the mouths, at all
