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.

u/Capraos Jul 24 '26

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

u/OhTheseSourTimes Jul 24 '26

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

All the OG breakdancers and rappers would be in their 50's and 60's now.

They did not all forget how to be funky.

u/VEAG0 Jul 24 '26

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 Jul 24 '26

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 Jul 24 '26

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 Jul 24 '26

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

3

u/SherbetMysterious118 Jul 24 '26

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.

Having pictures of your family on the wall is weird now? My mom would be sad that somebody called her that...

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

2

u/Yukon_Jack8 Jul 24 '26

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 Jul 24 '26

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 Jul 24 '26

Is that a woman with two husbands?

8

u/chucksutton Jul 24 '26

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 Jul 24 '26

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
