If that isn't AI generated I will eat my left shoe.

Exactly what I was thinking. She spent a looooong time putting makeup on just to go falconing. Falconring. Falconrying. Falconnerying. Playing with birds.

I don't think it's fake. There are a lot of small details that I don't think AI would get right. All the equipment is 100% correct. Hood, anklets, leash, jesses, swivels, and glove look good. She is holding her right arm up with her left because eagles are heckin heavy. She's obviously not going out hunting but I don't think it's fake.

In fact, I have a photo along the same vein:

Ps, if any falconers are lurking in lenmyland join me at falconry.party

I found this FB post on Aug 19, 2016. This may or may not be the original but this is pre-AI, right?

The flowers behind her look fake. I've seen generated images with a very similar flower design.

Is this AI generated? Why is her right arm not showing lol.

dmention7@lemm.ee · 21 pts · 3y

I think the falcon is perched on her upheld right fist, and her left arm is tucked into her vest/bib

That's what stuck out to you, not her face looking like a Sim?

Ab_intra@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

That tho!

kn0wmad1c@programming.dev · 13 pts · 3y

Her right arm is pretty clearly visible tho. She's got a long orange sleeve that goes into the brown glove the falcon is standing on.

It is not. This image is from like 7 years ago. I'm just sharing the best content I had from my Reddit days.

We need this community here.

tja@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 3y

I don't think so

I don't think we need meme communities whose entire purpose is to be referenced in other communities

metallic_substance@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y

I'd be very happy if those communities just stayed on reddit

Couldn't find a source for this image online (original) to tell whether it is AI or real...but this is some really cool shit for sure

I did find a similar(but less stylized) image on a blog using the wayback machine...this is definitely real and she is definitely wearing a stylish outfit and some makeup

This photo is mesmerising and intimidating all at the same time.

Does anyone know of a high res version or the source of it?
