Thanks everyone!
I simply cannot believe how many views this has got. I swear at least 60% are me 🤣
It does reward repeated views though; the gift that keeps on giving!

[Kozk]

the sliding people on the ground have insane skill

[julian]

0:23 that cyclist dragging that poor man into the oncoming group was diabolical, murderer!!

[Yoctopory]

Hell, if the tour de france was like this, I would actually watch it

[hankscorpio]

0:51 The crowd control barrier made out of bicycles 😂

[TheCsabi]

0:40 - I really like how the guy bikes into the group then take a reverse. 😄

You can tell that crashes are more widely spread around the internet, resulting in them being more represented in training data. As a result, the AI really wants to show a bicycle crash.

I remember when Lance Armstrong activated his pocket bomb at 0:31 and won the cup back in ‘99

That guy meeting all the others realising he was going the wrong direction managed to turn around on the go, rly slick with it
But the guy doing curling just when the bikes go by is just a madlad, bet he didnt even scrap the road beforehand

[Edlandish]

Not sure what my favourite part is, but I think it's the guy cycling the wrong way, meeting s group, then instantly turning around

[kurttank]

Half body horror, half bike and furious. Better than most of modern movies

[Tigrou]

The prompt was probably something like this : "you are 6 years old, your grandpa took you to Tour de France, you caught a cold, went to your bed, and now you have fever dreams".

[ThomasCoryate]

This is why I gave up professional cycling, I just couldn't handle all the body-horror.

It’s like watching one of my dreams. These kinda AI videos are the closest representation of the type of evolving imagery dreams seem like.

[sunsshadow]

00:30 "This seems pretty accurate"
00:33 "Nevermind"

[blackviking]

1:01 "CYCLISTS!! ASSEMBLE!!"
- Giant ass cyclist results, and immediately melts into perpetual road rash scene... Audience vomits.

[andrejsasd]

0:28 - how it feels to ride a bike in your dreams

[emceeboogieboots]

0:04 Now that is some explosive acceleration. AI was paying special attention to the audit of Lance Armstrongs medicine cabinet 😂

[ProjectPhysX]

0:21 that guy just casually turning around into a fakie

[danc]

In a few decades when AIs will generate perfect images, people will look back on this and think "man, the 2020s were mad"
