This is obviously AI.

The vent magically appears on the wall after the video zooms in.

The table and chairs sway when it’s zoomed in as if it’s supposed to be movement from someone holding a phone but the rest of the picture is steady.

And it makes no sense for there to be a light 1 foot of the ground in the middle of what appears to be a restaurant.

Edit: Jesus is this comment section ai?

About the vent, this appears to be filmed through a window and a person is causing the vent to not be visible until they move. If you keep watching the vent disappears again briefly when another person walks in front of the window.

Yeah the vent looks like it's a reflection from outside: as you pointed out, you can see in the video the reflection getting obscured momentarily when someone walks in front of it. The chairs seem to exhibit normal parallax movement; things closer to you move by more when you sway the camera (seriously, just try putting your hand in front of your face and sway your head side to side).

Looking around, there's a lot of meerkat plushies on a shelf, a meerkat sticker on a table and some pictures of meerkats on the front counter. It seems like a meerkat cafe sort of thing (a place where you can sit with real meerkats), which would explain the low lamp (i.e. it could be a heat lamp deliberately placed there for the meerkats to gather).

I tried finding a specific business/address, but none of the meerkat cafes I saw online looked similar to the video, and they all seem to not have very many details, so it could be fake; but it doesn't seem obvious to me.
