Are these AI filters, or just applying high compression/recompressing with new algorithms (which look like smoothing out details)?

edit: here's the effect I'm talking about with lossy compression and adaptive quantization: https://cloudinary.com/blog/what_to_focus_on_in_image_compre...

The result is smoothing of skin, and applied heavily on video (as Youtube does, just look for any old video that was HD years ago) would look this way

It's filters, I posted an example of it below. Here is a link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO9MwTHCoR_/?igsh=MTZybml2NDB...

It's very hard to tell in that instagram video, it would be a lot clearer if someone overlaid the original unaltered video and the one viewers on YouTube are seeing.

That would presumably be an easy smoking gun for some content creator to produce.

There are heavy alterations in that link, but having not seen the original, and in this format it's not clear to me how they compare.

you can literally see the filters turn on and off making his eyes and lips bigger as he moves his face. It's clearly a face filter.

To be extra clear for others, keep watching until about the middle of the video where he shows clips from the YouTube videos

I would but his right "eyebrow" is too distracting
