Is the Unicycle Snow-Shoveler Real or AI-Generated?
TL;DR Summary
A Somerville video showing people unicycling while shoveling snow on Facebook sparked questions about whether it was AI-generated. An available AI-detection tool gave the clip a 51% chance of being artificial, and the poster insisted it was real. Reporter Spencer Buell verified the stunt by meeting Alex Feldman (Alex the Jester), who demonstrated the unicycle snow-shoveling in person, confirming the feat is human. The piece highlights how advances in AI can blur the line between real footage and manufactured content and the importance of verification for viral clips.
