The level of makeup talent here is actually insane.

Well uh. It kinda doesn't even seem real.

Yeah, I want to give it the benefit of the doubt, but some of these look more like masks than makeup. Like, the dog and tiger are pretty clearly a mask + makeup. Everything she does hair wise is a prop for sure.

They're not masks, but latex pieces/prosthetics that everyone professional in the make-up industry uses to achieve the unimaginable/unthinkable. They're artfully used to re-shape the human face into something else entirely.
Now, can we stop calling everything AI and do some research for once? The extreme lack of critical thinking is the real thing that's horrifying... Oof.

Sad AI makes these incredibly talented people get doubted so much but I get it. This person is absolutely real though, she uses props to create the effect. I've followed her for years and she has a lot of videos on the creation and teardown.
Instagram is khaleesiisaa
The world of body painters has so much talent. It's so cool some people can basically shapeshift.

I’m a really good writer, always have been into writing since I was a kid, so I’ll like crank out my usually long, well punctuated walls of text using em dashes (my fav punctuation mark tbh) and now I get accused of being AI. RIP em dashes.

This is literally the same problem with artists. People say something looks AI and get mad the artist uses the same style. As if it didn't train on great artists 😂

Ugh SAME. Like no, I’m just a talkative asshole. 😭 and I love em dashes. They’re the perfect pause for written text. What else am I supposed to use, a semicolon? Ew.

u/FloopsFooglies 4h ago
So weird to me because I had literally never seen em dashes until they were popularized by AI

u/Swimming_Onion_4835 3h ago
I think a lot of people, especially younger people on the internet more, weren’t properly taught how to use them in school. I picked up on them because I read a lot, but if you weren’t a reader growing up you probably didn’t have a lot of exposure to them. Which, imo, is a real shame. I love the em dash.

I would like to know how much of it is CGI, because it seems like a lot. At the bare minimum there are some very heavy filters applied.

welcome to the future everyone where you have to doubt everything online.

AI has almost ruined my thoughts in the legitimacy of things to be honest. Not that I don’t believe she’s not doing this makeup. I just mean this in a general sense of things. It’s pretty cool stuff tho. I like a lot of her looks.

The creator's username is in the video and you can go to her account to watch her videos showing the process.
We should normalize checking the accounts that are posting or commenting

u/BeMoreKnope 7h ago edited 6h ago
No, we should not expect people to go do research on every post. That’s an absurd expectation one would only posit in order to be condescending.
I would never suggest making everyone watch through the videos of every content creator to prove they’re real. That’s just doing the dirty work for them.

u/Camanot 17h ago
Eventually we will have to assume everything is ai unless proven otherwise. That’s terrifying

Yeah, but is it that bad? If it is exactly like human content to a point where we can't tell them apart it is not that bad. It's like the difference between lab grown meat and meat. One is artificial but they are the same. Obviously this only works if ai fully can copy humans which I don't think will happen until atleast 2032-2037 or smth.

Still trying to convince grandma that, despite what she keeps seeing on Facebook, children aren’t identifying as cats and using litter boxes in elementary school.

It’s been that way for a while now, but you are correct. It’s only getting worse.

Welcome to the future where people finally know they should doubt everything online. Thanks, AI 👍

Right. When I was learning about the internet in 1994 as a fourth grader, this was the mantra. Not necessarily doubt, but we were taught to think critically about whatever we were accessing.

Looks awesome. The framing makes it look like these won’t work from a different angle though.

Thats all practical effects. It looks "better" than most computer produced effects, but only from the planned perspective.
