First, there was PHOTOSHOP!
Marie Claire Magazine, claiming to support real women and real body sizes, ran a survey in 2010 to see, which body size 6,8, 10, 12, 14 or 16, was preferred by the Australian public. There she is below, 59% of readers voted for Size 12.
Size 12
See the Mathspig Post: How they photoshop supermodels’ legs here.
In the same issue, the model below appeared in an ad. Her legs have been photoshopped. How does mathspig know? Do the math.
Model with 89% longer legs.
Now websites are advertising AI models.
How fake will they be? They don’t have to create freakishly long-legged AI models. Ai could generate fashion models of any size … or with 3-legs and 2 heads. Though the 3-legged model may not sell many brand-name jeans. But here are some examples Mathspig found and compared, first to our Size 12 model, then to our Size 6 model.
So AI can produce a range of AI models from realistic to ridiculous. But your eye sees the ridiculous pics as OK, leaving you with unrealistic expectations of body proportions.
Of course, some AI images can be hilarious.

Consider the example of the coin rolling around a coin of the same size. Intuitively we think …’OK. Same circumference, so the coin will rotate once as it rolls around a same-size coin. But this doesn’t happen. It rotates twice.
TWICE!
This observation is SOOOOOOOO counterintuitive we have to know why?…
Why?
The answer is interesting. The relevant point in the ROLLING COIN PARADOX is the centre of the rolling coin. The rolling coin rotates about that point. And that centre (the red dot in the gif below) moves through a circle twice the circumference of the stationary coin. It is much easier to understand when you see it. (Below)

The answer to this question is not ‘Toooo loooong!!’ It can be answered approximately.
According to a DREAMWORLD fact sheet Bengal tigers eat between 4 and 5 kilograms of chicken, horsemeat or kangaroo meat five days a week. To imitate their diet in the wild, Dreamworld’s tigers – Java, Jaya, Kia, Khan, Nika, Pi, Raja, Zakari and Akasha – fast on bones twice a week.
