AI image slop vs physiotherapy!

@cstross oh shit this is painful to look at and also the quality of the image probably would have gotten me otherwise

@cstross What? She just rotated the right foot 180 degrees.
And shortened the left leg so the left foot is at the same distance from the body as the right knee.
What's not shown is the bone saw used to perform such surgery.
All absolutely normal, surely?

@cstross One wonders at the people who looked at that and determined that yes, THAT is the image we want representing us.

@cstross
Well, there's a reason that poor woman is seeking physiotherapy. I would too if I were in her situation.

@lumendecens @cstross the unusually long arm of the patient with the hand reaching down to the knee, or the practitioner's hand on the pubic mound (or, bum, depending on which way round she is)?

@sarajw @cstross the latter for me

@cstross
The leg bone's connected to the - oh, wait...

(Also, that physio's right hand is placed in a lawsuit-inducing fashion.)

@cstross that appointment was long overdue!

@cstross and the psychotherapy I need after seeing it.

@cstross everything is fine!

@lumendecens @cstross it would certainly have me very tense

@cstross The patient is taking it surprisingly well!

@cstross As the title says this is the start of her career. Hopefully she’ll get better afterwards.

@reay @cstross It’s probably designed and posted by some “Agent” which will then report very high levels of user interaction because of the many comments and call it a victory.

And honestly it might as well be a successful campaign. They say there is no such thing as bad publicity.

@cstross Aua.

@cstross That is very limber of the patient. I guess it works

@cstross I just noticed the clock. It's 7:05 AM and she's waking up the patient.
I haven't noticed the placement of her right hand, or I'd have to comment on that too.

@cstross Looks like the physio studied under Larry Nassar.

@santi @reay @cstross that's exactly right. I am surprised that so few ppl realize these posts are made intentionally to drive engagement and increase reach. This has been pushed to the extreme in some cases and is just a really sad development on the marketing end of things

@cstross it’s one thing to use AI generated images but it gets even worse if no one reviews the slop anymore.
