Real or AI generated?

Wow! That would get your adrenaline flowing, but I think it's AI.
Driver's side, no dents, no scratches.
Damn, it's a great video though.

I missed the entire Darwin thread. How did I miss that? Thanks. Something else to read.

Ah, I was following for a while, then got away from it somehow. Okay, back to Darwin!

It looks like the truck is on ice, so it might move easily, but those buffs were bumping it up in the air... should be some damage. I think AI. I was cleaning up my system and ran across the vid. It has a date of 30 Dec 2025. It probably came from you Dave!

Considering I dented my fender putting gas in my truck with a plastic gas can, I’d say it’s AI… Seems like these trucks will dent if you sneeze too hard around them! Theres another dent on the hood from where a pinecone fell off a tree, and one on the roof that I have no idea how it happened.

My old F150 was a tank. I accidentally missed and slammed a log into the side of the bed once when loading up firewood. All it did was scuff the clear coat a bit. I’m definitely not a fan of all these newer trucks having aluminum body panels. Basically soda cans with wheels lol

AI. The truck doesn't move on its suspension during the attack; the wheels stay in their position and the truck doesn't sway when the rear touched down.

Just my casual non-expert opinion, bison don't "gang up" on a threat, or protecting their harem. My wife and I have gone to Custer State Park in SD for over 40 years where they have a herd of around 1400 to watch,
The males will spar with each other for mates or to protect their harems.

I think the original video was probably of the two bison sparing, and the truck was edited in.
This is more like it, although they will be aggressive if you appear to threaten their harem, especially females with calves.

Bison goes back to the herd and says "hey Larry...we just licked a FFR! What did YOU do today??"

It's becoming harder to tell what's real and what's AI-generated these days. The same technology that can create convincing edits and videos is also being used for more practical things, like improving personal photos. For example, a professional headshot app can turn a regular picture into a polished profile image, which shows how AI is moving beyond entertainment and into everyday uses as well.

Good observations. The suspension and physics details are usually a pretty reliable way to spot AI-generated or edited footage. Even when an image or video looks convincing at first glance, small things like weight transfer, tire movement, shadows, and how objects interact often give it away.

The bison behavior point is interesting too. Real animal behavior is usually more nuanced than what viral clips suggest. A lot of people see two large animals moving aggressively and assume it's an attack, but context matters—territorial displays, sparring, and defending calves can look very different when you know what to look for.
