I used to do paragliding and to me the video looks like low effort green screen more than AI.

The colons don't behave like that when flying because you have a tension exactly as much as your weight and it will vibrate and jiggle as it is rare to have perfect laminar flow especially over land(it gets more stable at hight altitudes but not that stable). Also, you are supposed to have 30 to 60 kph wind blowing at you all the time because that's how you stay airborn which means the handles and all kind of fiber and attachments will constantly move.

We were told stories about people who actually went to that altitude after being sucked by a cumulonimbus cloud and survived, so it's probably not impossible but this video screams fake at the second you look at it.

I'm surprised anybody bought it and I will be very surprised if it turns to be real. I find the one with the donkey much more convincing.

At least it has some wind and tension: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xqWN3h32wrA

Yeah, watching that first video, a million things should stand out to anyone, even if they're not a paraglider. It's really hard to believe any part of this video is real.

Sort of related, but that video feels like it might be kind of cruel to the donkey. It's hard to believe that it really enjoys flying like that (but then again maybe who knows).

This isn't true. I know donkeys who do this professionally and they rave about their air time.

Even in the short, shouldn't there be vapor visible from breathe?
