I found it very interesting, as you say some AI modified images, but amazed that a 21 year old Jimny, even a heavily modified one could take the altitude record, one which wouldn’t be beaten until 2020 by an Unimog truck and then again in 2023 by a Porsche 911 (heavily modified).

The altitude challenge would make a great story if enough videos and pictures are available.

That's the trouble with AI (I personally don't like it, too much fake stuff being shown as if it's real and trying to dupe the viewers.) If you start out with a true factual story and use and AI voice over, it gives you doubts. And if you use AI pictures instead of real ones = more doubt!

That is generative AI. Make it all feel irrelevant.
And as you say more and more false as it factually is. And when we know who really like to use it, the sceptisism against AI become very healthy..
When 5 to 10% (?) of the wealth in the world is invested in AI it sure make me wanna go buy more canned food for the room in the basement.

And the Porsche and Unimog teams was heavily supported. The Unimog was 7 or so trucks of wich many failed and they got just a few hundred meters further than the sammy.
