I trust Amnesty these days as far as I can throw a email/mail harvester, which was my experience with them. Anytime anyone is reporting on Latin America, mostly the demonstrators are not peaceful, non-violent unarmed protestors. There have been an enormous number of mislabeled photos as if things that had happened in one country happened in another. Even without AI, there's a lot of this going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted May 3, 2023 Author Share Posted May 3, 2023 I suspect that Amnesty used the ai image because it was cheaper than actually paying for a real photograph from a news agency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Won't there always be little aspects of rapidly changing reality that AI will always get wrong in terms of editorial imagery? I can understand AI use as long as credited as such as an illustration ( as already happens when they say use of 'stock image') and make it clear. Even if Amnesty wrote a caption saying that it was an AI image to protect individuals and just an illustration of what is happening.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI is just the fake icing on the photo-manipulation cake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
