This looks like AI.

In fact, no, what the fuck is going on in any of this image? Her shin is 10% of her leg, she's sitting on a foot-tall stool for a waist-high computer, the panels come out at 40-degree angles, there's a sawhorse meshing into one, they're apparently mounted four feet from the wall... this is fucking nonsense.

I don't see what you're describing. Also it looks like it's an actual photo based on this blog post, which references a tweet from 2017
