Nowadays, all digital media is becoming AI:
- ALL digital photos/videos/audio get processed via software (RAW development, editing software)
- ALL photo/video editing software uses AI (automatic curves and audio correction, AI-assisted compression)
- Ergo: ALL photos/videos are AI
- Corollary: old photos that were not AI, are also becoming AI as they get “remastered” and resaved.
Doesn’t mean “generative AI”, but spotting the difference is only going to become harder and harder.
Do GIMP, Krita, Kdenlive or Inkscape use AI? I did not think they did, to the best of my knowledge. Maybe I’m missing something about AI assisted compression and correction, which I admit I’m not familiar with.
Does this only apply to digital media used in mainstream sources or does it mean everyone who uses editing software is using AI?
Yes I work in the field and I’d say that overall this is somewhat accurate, denoising in particular has a direct impact on your pixels so at the core it’s “manipulated”, of course that doesn’t mean the content isn’t accurate but it’s definitely “processed”.
Then there’s all the heavier use of AI like remove tools, and partially using gen AI.
This is the greatest threat. It’s nof fake news, but the attack on truth itself?
That threat hit about a decade ago. We’re completely lost in the sauce at this point
Fake News does nothing but further dilute the trust in real news - the poison that numbs you to the knife in your back.
I don’t think Israel wants us to see Palestinians peacefully getting food either 😂
Why would anyone think it’s AI? The sound could well have been dubbed in though.
It had a sort of surrealist look to it that I think threw a lot of people off. I don’t know how to explain it, but a lot of people thought it just looked off in one way or the other. For me, it was the lighting with the constant change in depth of field that made it look odd, but I still figured out it wasn’t AI after looking a bit closer.
It was crappy stabilization and autofocus.
