AI is not our friend. Manipulating photos is nothing new, but AI has brought deceit to a new level. It's faster, and it's more convincing. Unfortunately, we've gotten to the point where we can't believe what we see or hear. Since I don't subscribe to NewScientist, I can't read the entire article, but you get the idea. If we can believe what we see and hear, we are going in a bad direction.
Deepfakes are out of control – is it too late to stop them?
AI-manipulated audio clips, images and videos have been used to harass people, scam money and influence elections, despite efforts to rein them in.

They rated the extent to which each text used human pronouns such as “he” and “she” rather than “it”, as well…

I think it’s already too late to stop AI.

Well, remember the old adage "Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see."?
AI has reduced the "see" part to near zero.....

Manipulating an image...? My Better Half spends time before the mirror applying her makeup each time we go somewhere. Could this be considered "Post Processing?" 😁

There's no stopping AI, but we can use common sense.
