AI-generated videos are getting scarily good. Here are 5 red flags most people miss:

1. Hands and fingers. AI still struggles with hands. Count the fingers, watch for weird bending or merging. This is the #1 giveaway.

2. Background consistency. Look at objects in the background across frames. AI videos often have elements that subtly shift, appear, or disappear between cuts.

3. Lighting on skin. Real skin has subsurface scattering — light passes through it slightly. AI often makes skin look too matte or too glossy, like plastic.

4. Audio-lip sync. Watch the mouth closely. AI-generated speech often has micro-delays or unnatural jaw movements that don't quite match the audio.

5. Temporal coherence. Pause and scrub frame by frame. AI videos sometimes have "flickering" artifacts — tiny glitches between frames that your brain smooths over at full speed but are obvious when slowed down.

The problem? These are getting harder to catch with the naked eye every month. That's exactly why I built Verify AI — upload any video and get an instant AI vs. Real verdict. No expertise needed.
