Why does the #origami dove appear to have three wings?

Real estate agents are weird. For some reason, this one picks up an origami dove, carries it around the house, and then releases an actual* dove.

Is this real or #AI #origami ?

Two cropped frames from the video showing a stylised origami bird the looks like it has three main wings that are pleated

@foldworks I’ve never seen an origami design anything like that before. It seems to have four wings, which is weird. I’m doubtful that it could be folded from one square of paper; the paper would need too many corners.

Also the expansive pan at the end has some genAI artifacts if you zoom in.

@futzle It seems so weird to use high-tech #AI to make an #origami bird when it takes just a few minutes to fold one from a white square of paper.

I've seen origami societies do it as well (to make bad cranes, of all things) 😢

@foldworks The design I think the genAI was trying to copy looks like this: https://youtu.be/rrZWZOYRRw4

But it added some extra wings, and got some of the pleats wrong, because it doesn’t understand that it is made from a square of paper.
