Notice that anything with clear writing on it, like the patches on the biker&rsquo;s jacket, is misspelled. The hands, a known issue for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ai\/\">AI<\/a>, are good, but not perfect. In one clip, a man&rsquo;s hand appears almost backward. In another, a hand drifts through the fabric of a pocket. That said, it&rsquo;s still wildly impressive. The same goes for the random cars behind, though, those could easily fool your average consumer. <\/p>\n<p>As many of you have graciously noted, we&rsquo;ve been cooking up some original video content here and there recently.
