> Somebody on X said it was An AI fake...

"Somebody" is right. Nice AI rendering, but no way is it real.

Objection #1: Way too small for the power it would have to produce.

Objection #2: Some of the video was "shot" from a vantage point a few yards in front of the machine, while it's flying, requiring another flying machine. The subject is always dead center and stable while the background moves. Sorry, no, that's not possible.

AI. Nice AI, but definitely AI.

I agree it's fake, but regarding your Objection #2--If you notice later in the video, you see a camera on a selfie stick attached to the front of the vehicle. Those cameras have software to edit out the stick itself. (I see them all the tine on motorcycle videos)

Agree with #1, though. No room for fuel.

Video... It looks like there is supposed to be an Insta360 on the selfie stick on the front of it... Depending on the camera, the selfie stick frequently will not be shown in the video itself. There is usually a “blind spot” directly under the camera that neither front/rear cameras can “see”.

So... “plausible” in that regard...

Other than the size of the airbike eliciting engineering related questions... It's the lighting on the terrain and trees that makes it seem like AI generation to me. It doesn’t look natural.

while it's flying, requiring another flying machine.

A drone could easily capture the entire flight.
