    Be real with me, is this image AI generated? There are so many odd details in this. Like the snowballs long femurs and forearms, and tons of small odd details in the background as well as the tree, and porch.

      I found the original, a video by sagewind_farmstead (instagram, tiktok, youtube, etc)

      eta: looks like she has hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which could explain the legs and arms looking a bit different

        Thanks! Here it is.

        I looked at some of her other content. I think she just has very low kneecaps, I guess. Never seen such low kneecaps. The lowest in the world in fact. 😅 Anyway, solved! Clearly real!

        Also arms looking “off” was just excess skin from losing a lot of weight, I’m assuming. Which is just awesome, good for her for gaining health back! 💪👏

          I really come to hate Instagram and tiktok and Twitter because of how they gate keep all of their content. Continually requiring you to download and use their shit ass apps in order to see anything that they have without jumping through a bunch of stupid hoops.

          Can we please stop linking these fucking godawful sites?

            Use instander or something. Can block all ads and scrape videos off directly. Still need an account but you can block all the data they gather on you.

            🤷‍♂️ It’s where their content was found. You’re welcome to search that username yourself and find it on YouTube or something if they are there, or some Instagram mirroring page, if there is such a thing.

        Today I learned about hypermobility. I might be slightly on the hypermobility spectrum. I can twist my thumbs in certain ways, easily sit cross-legged with my knees touching the floor, lick my elbow, and such things, at almost 40 years of age. Thankfully without the chronic pain as of yet. 🙏

      I don’t think so. If anything, those imperfections are details that AI may forget to include in its generated images

        What about those femurs thoughhh, why are her femurs like a 2:1 ratio compared to her shin bones? Should be closer to like 1:1. And something about the arms feels off. She’s like a real life uncanny valley lady. Or am I just starting to hallucinate from seeing too much AI slop lately. 😵‍💫

          She’s just short. And this image is taken from pretty close, so that little changes in distance to camera make a big difference in apparent length.

          A typical smartphone camera’s default “1x” zoom tends to be a pretty wide lens with a short focal length. So you stand up close to your subject when taking pictures or video.

          And people’s faces tend to look better when shot from at least eye level, especially with wide lenses from up close.

          So if you imagine a 1.5 meter tall person photographed from 1.5 meters away, at height level, standing straight, the top 1/3 will take up about 18.435° of visual angle. The middle 1/3 will be 15.255°. And the bottom 1/3 will be 11.31°. So just like that, 0.5 meters can look 60% longer on the top portion of a subject than the exact same length, 0.5 meters, on the bottom of a subject.

          As a result, there’s a warped perspective where the things that are higher on a person’s body or torso look longer, and things that are lower are further away and therefore smaller.

          Bend the knees slightly and the difference becomes even more skewed.

          We don’t notice these things with our eyeballs because our visual cortex corrects for these things with a three dimensional model of the world around us, but still photos don’t go through that same processing when perceived, so sometimes perspective plays tricks on perceived size/distance.

          For a quick demonstration, pull out your phone and take a selfie from above your head, looking up at the camera. How small do your feet look, and does that match the real world appearance as you perceive them in real life?

            I know all that, but her other videos also show her short-looking shins. Not really a perspective thing IMO.

            It could also be that she has a lot of excess skin on her thighs which might make her knees look like they are drooping a bit.

              Look at the video of her running, posted on September 29. A video posted on September 27 also shows short clips of her standing or walking or sitting with knees bent, showing that her femurs and tibias are proportional length. There’s a video called rapture prep posted on September 22 that includes a thumbnail that is a side shot with her knees bent, showing the ratio of femur to tibia.

              I think it’s a normal proportioned short person whose camera angles tend to lengthen her upper body and shorten her lower body. And maybe a preference for high waisted pants that may trick the eye into thinking the hip hinge is higher than it is.

            You mean her right knee, right? To our left?

            I took that into consideration, it’s still super low. It doesn’t explain her left knee though, which is straight.

      I’m no expert AI detective, but I agree with yum. Particularly the chicken wire on the railing. I’ve never seen an AI image do something like that, let alone so convincingly.
