With most daily tasks, from ordering food and working to socialising, now done from the couches, people are spending far too much time sitting and staring at screens.<\/p>\n<p>Sam\u2019s fictional lifestyle has left him overweight, hunched, and prematurely aged. Years of sitting have caused fat to gather around his midsection, leading to higher risks of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. His poor posture, dull skin, and tired eyes reflect the toll of hours spent in front of digital devices.<\/p>\n<p>WeWard describes Sam as \u201ca medically grounded projection of how inactivity can affect our physical appearance and overall health,\u201d warning that if people continue to prioritise convenience over movement, this unsettling vision could soon become reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An artificial intelligence model has offered a chilling glimpse into the future, showing what humans might look like&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157160,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[91663,291,10235,289,290,18,91661,19,17,3521,82,91662],"class_list":{"0":"post-157159","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-2050-humans","9":"tag-ai","10":"tag-ai-model","11":"tag-artificial-intelligence","12":"tag-artificialintelligence","13":"tag-eire","14":"tag-humans-after-25-years","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ireland","17":"tag-lifestyle","18":"tag-technology","19":"tag-weward"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115474661796389425","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157159\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
