      The comments said the video is hand animated, so I don’t think it’s AI. The song is Ai generated though.

      The animation looks not unlike old Don Bluth animal cartoons, so I think the wirey hairs are a choice. The artist probably made them look like that to draw attention to them. As well as the ears.

        If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the internet, is that if there’s one instance of ai, there are other instances of ai

          True. Ai video has limitations on it so far though. This would be the first one I’ve seen pushing a 20 second duration so far. The hairs disappearing during movement seems telling but that would also be an animation shortcut to conserve effort.

          My personal litmus test here is the consistency of the animal’s head shape and how it can move so emotively and return to that shape afterward. Maybe that’s a hurdle they’re starting to get closer to but the priority of slop seems to be more focused on generating attention grabbing content like neonatal features or ragebait featuring women
