AI will give a news face to the internet Images, anyone can now create fake news about anything , while i was surfing over the internet i found that this man died due to Israel-gaza war 'https://themixnews.com/stephen-daniels-obituary/' 'Remembering Stephen Daniels: A Teacher, Coach, and Friend Who Left a Lasting Legacy at Steenberg High School'

The obituary you posted doesn’t mention Israel or Gaza. Why did you link it?

Reads like AI

I thought so too, but it’s getting harder to tell the difference between AI and weird people.

The OP account definitely seems to be.

All the posts they’ve made have a header, sub header, “::”, and description, with all the copy around the same length each time. It’d be a weird amount of effort to not be using GPT for this

Fake images cause damage! We will now show them all to you!

I think it’s more that the pictures being represented as real is what’s damaging though…

Fuck Adobe and it’s greedy CEO Shantanu Narayen.

Adobe Stock Contributor. Someone, as a contributor, listed these photos to earn a commission for sales for photo content they say is theirs and own the copyright for.

It’s a decent side hustle but I’d never upload AI crap.

I’m not surprised some stock photo companies are selling AI work. I imagine this is an industry not easy to make money in if you are one of the few remaining firms not owned by Getty.

It’s a mess. I can’t trust anything online as coming from a real human anymore. It’s all filters, generated, or paid for. The God of profit corrupts everything it touches.

It will always be more and more important to know the source of the info and how trustworthy it is. This is, of course, why authoritarians like Trump are always going on, trying to discredit the media, especially those with some scruples left.

That is what happens when the Internet became serious business.

I miss the internet from the times when South Park was making fun of it for not being a serious place to do business and features the early internet YouTube memes.

Things were simpler then.

Not great, but also not really Adobe’s fault. Journalists using them are the problem. Back when the fakenews of Israel hitting that hospital with 500 dead went around there were plenty of news article that just had regular stock images from other completely unrelated bombings in the articles, which did nothing more than misguide the reader. That’s the kind of stuff that really shouldn’t be acceptable, but happens all to often.

The media needs much better standards when it comes to photos (e.g. include GPS coordinates and time so we can verify and cross check it easier). Just plastering stock images in articles, AI generated or not, is rarely helpful and often misleading.

Why does the most reasonable and balanced take have the most downvotes?

This is absolutely the journalists’ fault. It doesn’t matter if its AI-generated or not.

RGB3x3@lemmy.world on 08 Nov 2023 17:54 collapse

Because Adobe willingly selling these images is incredibly dangerous and unethical.

Both Journalists and Adobe are at fault. And it doesn’t surprise me that a company as shitty as Adobe is doing something like this, but we can at least try to hold them accountable.

Is it selling fake AI images? Or fake images made by AI?
