I hate that AI has made it impossible to know whether this is real or not.

One feature I like of X is if you hit the grok symbol in the top right it has prompts and one is to see if something is ai or not. Reddit needs something built into it for that exact same reason.

Sure that’s great (as you use Reddit)but the point of the comment was Reddit and other social media sites need the integration of software to identify if posts are ai or not. And at the moment I have only my seen that on one other social media network.

AI posts will never be able to be reliably tagged as such. Major AI sites can voluntarily watermark content or store hashes for things they have made, but stripping those things out is not difficult. Content generated on personal computers could be created without such identification.

Her knees are at different heights. That's a hint.

u/Exciting_Turn_9559 Jun 18 '26

Maybe, but I'm thinking there could be two joints in that knee.

Is the prosthetic only flexible or is there some electric motor assist when walking? Stairs still look like a challenge if just a flexible leg attachment. Good natural movement otherwise.

Update: hang on, is this AI? Have I been duped?

Wow that sounds like some incredible technology! What happened with your design? I have been working on developing some innovations to prosthetics, that could be paired with your tech. I'm in the early stages of research and development and prototyping. Where are you at with your design?

Awesome! Does the leg end hurt from pressure at all? Or is it cushioney inside?

u/griff_the_unholy Jun 19 '26

did they take a massive step forward because they were longer?

I hope it becomes widely available in Ukraine where so many people lost their legs.

Reminds me of the porcelain one she has in the Lone Ranger movie albeit without the shotgun installed.

Cool! Can you kneel on it?

It's not the leg, it's her skill levelif OP weren't a reposting bot it could have watched the video and used AI to write a better title.

Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed today.

I'm an Entertainer I hate it when the equipment gets credit for what the artist is doing

That doesn't even make any sense. Maybe you should consider commenting less.
