Late Stage Capitalism

this is a very smart comment.

I remember a similar panic when photoshop started to become good and usable for mainstream machines, and there was a time when obviously real stuff would be claimed to be "photoshopped" just because people seemed to think that photoshopped images were utterly indistinguishable from real ones.

Then, rather quickly, people figured out that there are softwares that can spot manipulation extremely easily and it all turned out to be not that much of an issue after all.

though now i wonder if i could possibly commit a crime while wearing makeup that makes my face seem ai-generated and then claim in court that the evidence is just a deepfake
