    This looks like a bad 15 minute Photoshop job. Why does she think it was AI? Where is the proof AI was used?

    Or is this just more news cycle bullshit trying to throw in the latest controversial keywords 🤔

      No, you’re just focusing on the wrong part - this article is about racism, not your favourite new tech…

      AI image processing could do the job in two minutes with no skill, whereas manual image editing (even crappily) takes skill and time.

      Why assume someone handcrafted it when there’s no evidence?

        Because the article specifically said “AI”. It could have just said “edited” and left it at that is the methodology was unknown. But when the methodology is both unknown and doesn’t affect the story at all, it’s bullshit to put a potential lie in the headline just to act relevant to a different hot topic issue.

      You say “Photoshop” as a generic term for “image editor”, even when there’s no reason to think it was that editor in particular.

      Maybe “AI” is just replacing “Photoshop” as a generic term for any digital image manipulation.

        Well read.

        It used to be air brushing.

        A totally formulaic article from deteriorating media.

        They wonder why journalism died .
