It’s getting harder and harder but some things still seem to work:
- emotional emphasis on the wrong syllables
- dissonance between facial expressions and vocal delivery
- AI writing giveaways (it’s not A it’s B etc.)
- dreamlike / “floaty” motion
- unrealistic “depth of field” (objects don’t blur properly with distance)
- unrealistic lighting / coloring / appears stylized despite the attempted hyperrealism
- object permanence problems / subtle drift in sizes and proportions over time







Don’t think “breakaway region” think “100-billion+ dollar tax exempt hedge fund that is also one of the largest private landholders and has a massive PR budget”
They already have everything they want working the system from inside
