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 🤔
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.
“my face was altered by a man using GIMP!”
im sorry hwhat
Anyone’s face can be altered if you use GIMP somewhere unexpected

Maybe not 100% Photoshop usage, but 99.9% Adobe product based on what I see in every industry
Well read.
It used to be air brushing.
A totally formulaic article from deteriorating media.
They wonder why journalism died .
Air brushing, Photoshop, and AI are specific methodologies, you can’t just use that as a generic term when that will just create more confusion and hide the meaning, especially when the difference is important due to legislation.
I never put out an article saying it was one of them definitively. I just said the style looked similar to another method.
“AI” is not a term for photo editing at all, much less a generic term for it. Using totally wrong words to refer to things doesn’t make you innovative, it makes you a crackpot or a liar.
This is seriously the dumbest take I’ve seen all week and I can’t believe how many people upvoted it.
No, you’re just focusing on the wrong part - this article is about racism, not your favourite new tech…
Then why did they put the name of the latest tech in the title when it’s not even relevant

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.
