1. Concrete engineers flummoxed. AI could never figure it out.

No mention of opossum.

2. I hate A.I.

can't even watch it. phooey

[catbyte]

3. That's too bad. It's an important story.

I don't like AI either, but the story was more compelling.

4. Here are monthly project updates

Intriguing.

6. I'm sure, if it can be believed as truth.

If it's real- I'll have to look to see where else it's talked about to verify.
Fake Intelligence- can't trust it

I've also watched beavers do their thing for decades. Incredible animals

9. Well, one could always look in the primary scientific literature to examine the REAL case on which there is...

...considerable discussion.

Google scholar gives over 5,000 scientific papers discussing the subject.

There are over 300 papers published since the beginning of 2025.

Here's one:

Cooper, R.J., Cabrales, S., Freeman, E. et al. Eurasian Beaver (Castor Fiber) Reintroduction: A Nutrient Mitigation Solution for Lowland Chalk Streams?. Wetlands 45, 10 (2025).

I'm not sure that the production of the video shared contains CGI or other techniques, but, that said, the post directed me to an environmental finding of which I was unaware.

One man's "crap" is another man's treasure. I appreciate the reference to the case, of which I was unaware, and learned something I would otherwise not know.

I appreciate the OP.

5. Great story! Nature workss

However all the A.I. sucked. No need for that crap.

7. AI crap wildly exaggerating the story.

Please read the article in post #4 and see the pictures therein. It was 2 beavers released to join an existing wild beaver group. Their work to restore ecosystems is true, so why add the AI crap?

8. where did the logs come from. that area has no forest at all.
