Sure, but photos altered with AI is not the point of the article. In the article a photographer said that he suspects that the cropping/flattening tool he used somehow used AI, and therefore the AI metadata was included in the picture.
So, while the action using AI is "technically correct," the photographer simply wanted to crop his picture; something that has been possible for decades without AI. He wasn't aware of AI being used. And now Facebook includes the tag because of the AI over-engineered bullshit.
Personally, I don't place all the blame on Facebook. They're simply reading the metadata, and if the metadata says "yo, we used AI," then welp, it gets the label. So, the editing tools are also to blame here.
I guess now I know. Before uploading a photo to Facebook/Instagram/whatever, I'll make sure to remove the exif metadata.
Nah, fuck 'em. Either "Take better photos" or "Made with AI". If you don't have the dedication to sit there until the shot is perfect, why not just generate the whole thing?
pretty sure it will tag it as ai even if you just use something like generative fill to remove a blemish
its been done for years without ai, ai just makes it quicker, better, and easier
and sit there until the shot is perfect? sure you can do that with the pyramids, cand do that in the streets. or maybe you're shooting a car and you dont notice a minor imperfection in the paint. what, you want them to just trash the whole set of pics?
Well, there's a reason why I said "perhaps". That's as far as I'm willing to compromise. Anybody using a bullshitting digital parrot needs to have their laziness highlighted.
