Is nobody going to point out that this is obvious AI? Batfishes do not have large dorsal fins, let alone two of them. They can slowly “walk” along the seafloor, but they’re perfectly capable swimmers that would simply transition to swimming before basically running like in the OP clip. These things are fake monstrosities with shark/ray fins which is why they look and move so weird.

If you search the watermarked name up on YouTube/instagram both accounts are just deep-sea AI slop farms full of silly stuff like this.

Thank you! I'm shaking my head at myself because I've seen real batfish footage before and still forgot and didn't realize until your comment that this was AI. It didn't look quite right but i hadn't made the mental jump to AI yet.

Creatures like this are actually proving the opposite for me. Because why would, whoever runs the simulation, create a fish like this. How you even think of that

3

u/keyboardtoes 1h ago

the nature of reality is such that advancement continues until artificial intelligence of the simulation itself is invented that which, in time, creates it's own simulation and in turn again that reality creates it's own simulation of reality and because the scales of processing differences are processing speeds versus eons of each surface simulation, each reality thinks it is the only and at it's own time scales but none shall ever end infinitum

These are our relatives. I think this is what crawled out of the Ocean right? These things have feet and lips just like us.

25

u/Weak-Doughnut5502 1h ago

Nope.  They're part of the anglerfish order.  They're a kind of ray- fined fish. 

We're a kind of lobe-finned fish.  Our closest relatives who never left the water are lung fish and ceolacanths.

We're very distantly related.   This is a case of quasi convergent evolution,  since their fins work very differently to our distant ancestor's.

u/prairiepog 1h ago

I've caught ceolacanths (in Animal Crossing). That's is so cool.

Maybe this fish will evolve to walking on land in a billion or so years.

They don't even live that deep aparently, only between 3 and 76 meters of depth (10 to 250 ft). Meaning an average swimmer can easily encounter one if at the right place.
