As this war is the latest, most advanced in misinformation and disinformation, it makes sense that Adobe knows the market.

He’ll they probably sell directly to the worldnews group on lemmy they have a greater number of fake stories than real ones.

Their sales force needs to be ready for the upcoming US election. It’ll be raining dollars.

This is hilarious! In a terrifying, grossly capitalistic, post-truth sorta way haha

this won’t resound well for adobe if they’re aware and they let this happen

but then, imagine if an artist made a drawing of a child looking at the ruins made by Israeli bombs. Would it too be a scandal?

Art history is filled with paintings of massacres. Paintings that are considered masterpieces

The difference is, we KNOW paintings and drawings aren’t real. We can tell by looking at them at a glance. The same can’t be said of these photorealistic images.

if we take what you say as true, then the problem is not about adobe selling generated images of actual suffering but that these images may cause confusion, disinformation.

“for me”, if there is a problem, it lies in the aforementioned question: why do we need generated images of gaza when we have a flux of photographs, videos, writings and interviews that show/tell us the actual suffering there?
