But also... why? The 'story' works just as well with the original - they haven't made her taller. They've just turned it into a different woman by altering the face!

That's what I can never understand!

This is where I praise the existence of nerds with special interests, because they always descend in droves to pick those 'photos' apart. "That isn't a real car!" "Those kind of lampposts didn't exist back then!" "The buildings on this street are in the wrong architectural style!"

2.5 meters is more than 8'2"!

People that tall usually die young and don't have the physical health to be anyone's bodyguard.

Even Andre the Giant was only 7'4".

I can understand wanting to use AI to scale up a low res photo (which is all that is available of this particular one), but to use AI to completely change everything, including this woman's face, is unforgivable.

The shared photo vs the original.

And the real story of Ella Abomah William:

I seen it on fb and didnt think too hard about it (but clicking wiki ive def read about the real her before). The photoshop is so sinister makes her darker and gives her a scowl. So bizarre.

I love that she died in Hawaii.

I don't even want to know how many millions of followers that account has or how many likes/reposts it got. It's too depressing.

If you can't trust "Strange Things in Stunning World," who can you trust?

That is so weird & unsettling. Basically influencer-izing the historical record, to give it more 'pop'.

Yikes. Whilst the overall impression of the photo is the same, EVERY detail has been massively changed.

It feels like a trained AI was given the original photo and told to "improve" it.
