Ew, is it alive? Does it hurt the whale? Does it affects humans? Should he be wearing gloves? Why didn’t he do a more thorough job? I have so many questions !
I have to disagree. Look up videos of how friendly the grey whales are in Mexico. Very possible this happened. I don’t know easy a barnacle would be to remove by hand like that, but it looks like the guy is picking ones that look easier to remove/are partially flaking off
I mean I can of course be wrong, but the water to me looks super weird and the whales movements too. It's not about the whale being friendly, I know they are.
I watched it again and I get what you mean, right at the end there is something a bit unnatural about the water moving around the whales snout as it spins. Goddammit if it’s AI I fell for it
AI can absolutely do audio along with videos, the lip sybcing aspect isn't perfect yet but in this one you see no lips moving.
Modern AI video geberators, even that available to simple folk, is pretty crazy

It’s not barnacles, probably whale lice.

Pretty sure this is AI, the BS AI typical video quality to begin with.

Unless if they did a voice over it's not AI. No metallic filter
AI still can't do audio

No it can't... the audio always has a heavy metallic filter over it, it has a very specific accent and sounds very drowned out

It’s really nice to see someone actually helping it out and remove the barnacles rather than just patting it Whales are wonderful creatures

Whales don't really care about barnacles, and picking off a dozen whale lice will not change anything when thousands are crawling on him.

I know it’s a whale, but just for a second imagine it was a GIANT MORAY EEL
