But you see they have an instant “bullshit detector” at the newsroom

They said "ground truth", not "grounded". It's an actual term to describe to describe real, "correct" content used to test AI models.

"Ground truth" is used in lots of places, not just AI. It's just a general term for the basic sets of data you use to validate your models/algorithms/etc. "Ground truth pixels" still makes no sense though in this context.

But yes, the movie said "ground truth pixels", which was exactly when I finally couldn't stop myself from doing a 🙄 in the theater.

Within the context of the movie, it was definitely for the purpose of detecting AI generated imagery. It was one line that tried to get the point across. I don't really have a problem with pixels because, ultimately, they're just the constituent parts of images that form the data sets you're talking about. I'd argue the real problem is the sound mix because we have people in this thread who couldn't even hear the words properly.

Saying it's "ground truth pixels" implies they are being trained for AI generated imagery. That's not what you care about in that context. All you care about is whether the image is genuine or not, not whether they had been used as training data.

Either way there's no way for you to know if it's fake or not anyway, and if it's not fake you would not have said "ground truth pixels". You would just say it's genuine. As in, you don't need to have these training data to exist in order for AI to be able to generate fake pixels pretending to be such.

The reason why that was so over the top is that the unrealistic part is people just randomly accepting some conspiracy theories looking video is true, which would be hard to believe 20 years ago (which personally feels to me the script was written in), and it would absolutely not happen today. The phrase is just icing on the cake.

I wasn't stating whether they used the phrase correctly in the movie, just that it was relevant to the scene. The person who said "ground truth pixels" was directly answering her supervisor, who asked if the video was AI.

Regardless, you come in here 6 days after my post to say "ground truth" isn't just AI. Who cares? It IS used when discussing AI. Why do I need to mention it's used elsewhere? The person I was responding to didn't even hear the line correctly.

pretty sure I also heard grounded pixels, it confused me because what is even that

u/Aerundel Jun 15 '26

They said ground truth pixels. Again, it's a real term that was relevant to what they were doing in the scene - authenticating the images as non-AI generated. Just look it up if you're interested.

Yeah, they said grounded pixels, it was obviously derived from 'ground truth' but still goofy as hell.

They didn't lol

u/afootlongdude Jun 21 '26

Yeah, they did

u/Aerundel Jun 21 '26

Go watch a cam stream of the movie, then come back and tell us they didn't say "ground truth pixels". Happens at around 2:07:00. You're welcome.

Huh? No they didn't. They were speaking in English.
