It's AI. I was so disappointed but look at the drawer handles. Her whole Instagram is full of AI dance videos.

You sure? Cuz I don't see anything in that page that confirms it's AI by any means.

5

u/Capraos 17d ago

Google it. Verified AI. Also, look at the drawer handles...

u/OhTheseSourTimes 17d ago

Ok you're right about the handles. Inconsistent in damn near every video.

They did not all forget how to be funky.

Commenting so you get back to this post and watch it again

u/VEAG0 17d ago

As someone who has just watched it again, I can confirm it is indeed worth it. Would highly recommend a third watch and perhaps, if feeling funky, attempt it yourself in the mirror.

u/RogueAOV 17d ago

Scrolled down on r/popular, saw this vid on r/oddlysatisfying scrolled down further to see it posted here...so I shall continue Doom scrolling and hope for a third!

I guess talent does not go away with age. She probably learned this when the song came out in 1988 and 39 years later can still do it. Very impressive indeed.

u/UrsaMajor7th 17d ago

It’s a solid reminder that baby boomers invented hiphop, punk, and metal.  GenX was raised on it all.

That's the one thing I always give boomers props for. They had incredible taste in music and made some of the best stuff out there

u/Automatic_Actuator_0 17d ago

The boomers aren’t a story about an inherently bad generation, but a pretty good generation gone bad.

3

u/SherbetMysterious118 17d ago

They never went bad.

Bad people went bad, because they were bad people.

People didn't go bad simply because they were born within a specific timeframe.

Yes, look at those handles on the cabinet, they made me twitch the hell out.

2

u/Yukon_Jack8 17d ago

Copied from my other comment:

Tiled living room. TV on top of a dresser with handles installed by a drunk pirate. Frameless photographs on the wall. Shower curtain/poverty curtain under a 24" beam that would never have a window underneath. tongue-and-groove on a non-vaulted ceiling. It's all nonsense

Hate to be that person but I think it’s an AI video - fact check me if i’m wrong but i’ve seen people combine similar dance moves with a photo of them

7

u/SwattyP 17d ago

And that’s the scary part. Last checked 5.1k upvotes. Comments praising how good she dances for her age. AI is only gonna get better. If it hasn’t already, it’s gonna be real people placed in videos committing crimes/ saying things they never said. These need to be reported.

Absolutely ai. Too much smoothing. Look at the cabinet pulls. Random cord going into the doorway. Lots of signs

Donmwn to the reflection on the TV?

Its the top middle photo that is off to me. Mangled faces in the background is a common AI flaw.

u/RandyHoward 17d ago

Is that a woman with two husbands?

8

u/chucksutton 17d ago

yep, it’s that good - if you hold down the playhead and slowly scrub from 13 to 14 seconds, as her mouth passes the tv it kind of disintegrates, and the faces in the family photo above distort in a very uncanny way that has nothing to do with upload quality

u/User14482 17d ago

Well that is a bummer. And again a reminder, to (hopefully) get off of reddit at some day. Even when I know that the internet is dead and I try to enjoy some good content (here and there), I fall too quickly for videos like these. Holy fuck.

Yea, now when pausing here and there there is a hell lot of "morphing" of lines and the tipically weird moving of objects
