34. AI isn't really capable of proving that something is or is not AI

Just the other day, I asked Gemini AI to evaluate an AI slot video and determine whether or not it was AI. It thought the video was real.

In short, there is no credible evidence as to whether that photo of the turtle is real or not.

Somebody on our side has to demand to see him in person.
