AI character replacement turns real Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O stunt footage into synthetic-looking videos

A video compilation uses real stunt footage featuring Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and their crew while replacing the characters or suits with AI-generated elements. The underlying action remains real, making scenes such as stunts and aggressive motion look like AI prompts without generating the action from scratch.

The workflow was controlled by phone: Codex ran on a PC through the ChatGPT app, generated reference images with ChatGPT Images, and used them for character swaps through SeaDance, rendered via Higgsfield. The process required no direct coding. The assessment was that such demonstrations may spread as memes before becoming routine creative tools.
