The photograph is now meaningless as evidence. We are not prepared.

    Meh, those edited photos could have been created in Photoshop as well.

    This makes editing and retouching photos easier, and that’s a concern, but it’s not new.

      Something I heard in the photoshop VS ai argument is it makes an already existing process much faster and almost anyone can do it which increases the shear amount that one person or a group could make almost how a printing press made the production of books so much faster (if you’re in to history)

      I’m too tired to take a stance so I’m just sharing some arguments I’ve heard

        Making creating fake images even easier definitely isn’t great, I agree with you there, but it’s nothing that couldn’t already be done with Photoshop.

        I definitely don’t like the idea you can do this on your phone.

          Exactly, it was already established that pictures from untrusted sources are to be disregarded unless they can be verified by trusted sources.

          It is basically how it has been forever with the written press: Just like everyone now has the capability to manipulate a picture. Everyone can write we are being invaded by aliens, but whether we should believe it is another thing.

          It might take some time for the general public to learn this, but it should be a focus area of general schooling within the area of source criticism.
