In the linked webpage, the following videos would be good enough to trick me:

- The monkey in hotspring video, if not for its weird beard...

- The koala video I would have mistaken for hollywood-quality studio CGI (although I would know it's not real because koalas don't surf... do they?)

- The pumpkin video if played at 1/4 resolution and 2x speed

- The dog-at-Versailles video edit

If the videos are that good, I'm sure I already can't distinguish between real photos and the best AI images. For example, ThisPersonDoesNotExist isn't even very recent, but I wouldn't be able to tell whether most of its output is real or not, although it's limited to a certain style of close-up portrait photography.

> limited to a certain style of close-up portrait photography

Not to take away from your point but it's more limited than one might think from this phrase. As an exercise, open that page and scroll so the full image is on your screen, then hover your mouse cursor within the iris of one of the eyes, refresh and scroll again. (Edit: I just noticed there's a delayed refresh button on the page, so one can click that and then move their mouse over the eye to skip a full page refresh.) I've yet to see a case where my mouse cursor is not still in line with the iris of the next not-person.
