Is that realistic? Do ants see us like that?

If you’re referring to giant robots and dinosaurs, consider that they were animated that way to give an impression of their size.
The Square-Cube Law stipulates that for a given increase in size (height, width, depth), the mass is cubed. Thus, a large creature is significantly heavier relative to its body weight than you are. This is also why small creatures seem to be able to move ridiculously fast for their size.
For a similar sensation, try strapping weights to your arms and legs, and wading through neck-high water. You’ll find that every action takes effort, and that you have to move much more slowly and deliberately.
On a related note: I am of the staunch belief that if spider man had the proportional strength of a spider, he wouldn’t be very strong. A spider-sized-spider is only strong by virtue of being very small. If a spider were the size of a human, it would collapse under its own weight, because its mass would be far to great for it to support, even if its strength increases too. Thus, if spider-man had the proportional strength of a spider, he would be weak AF.
