    Is gait something AI can identify you with? Because, honestly, when I was younger before I knew I needed glasses, I could identify people at a distance by how they walked.

      Yes-ish. It heavily depends on you wearing the same shoes and walking in similar conditions. Couple rocks in your shoe will throw off your gait

      Afaik, its still psuedo science bullshit. They certainly claim they can, but the level of accuracy doesnt even manage to be dubious, more like straight up random guessing. Perhaps its improved a lot recently and im unaware of the advances? It still wouldnt stop them from claiming it either way and arresting someone, erroneous or not.

        Here is a little reality check. Not only has gate analysis been around much longer than people think, they used it in the Iraq war (2 or 3 depending on if you count the Iraq-Iran war). But, people tended to walk in shadow 'cause shit’s hot there. Meaning you couldn’t see their gait from overhead.

        So you know what they did? The did gait analysis on the shadows and missiled them from that data.

        Yup. You could convict & execute a toothless person with bitemark evidence. Juries have been trained on years of CSI that Science is Infallible.

        You know, instead of effecting a limp, just carrying an extra few unbalanced pounds somewhere on your body would probably be enough to throw it off.

        Or, if you don´t ever wear high heels: wear high heels.
