If that isn’t AI generated I will eat my left shoe.
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.
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
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?
She looks like an acoustic guitar.
Is this AI generated? Why is her right arm not showing lol.
That’s what stuck out to you, not her face looking like a Sim?
That tho!
It is not. This image is from like 7 years ago. I’m just sharing the best content I had from my Reddit days.
I think the falcon is perched on her upheld right fist, and her left arm is tucked into her vest/bib
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.

We need this community here.
I don’t think so
I don’t think we need meme communities whose entire purpose is to be referenced in other communities
I’d be very happy if those communities just stayed on reddit
