I unintentionally scared myself by using the I2V generation model

While experimenting with the video generation model, I had the idea of taking a picture of my room and using it in the ComfyUI workflow. I thought it could be fun.

So, I decided to take a photo with my phone and transfer it to my computer. Apart from the furniture and walls, nothing else appeared in the picture. I selected the image in the workflow and wrote a very short prompt to test: “A guy in the room.” My main goal was to see if the room would maintain its consistency in the generated video.

Once the rendering was complete, I felt the onset of a panic attack. Why? The man generated in the AI video was none other than myself. I jumped up from my chair, completely panicked and plunged into total confusion as all the most extravagant theories raced through my mind.

Once I had calmed down, though still perplexed, I started analyzing the photo I had taken. After a few minutes of investigation, I finally discovered a faint reflection of myself taking the picture.
