Adobe is selling fake AI images of the Israel-Hamas war::Adobe Stock’s image service has fake, artificially generated images of Israel, Gaza and Hamas which are being used by online news sites.
Fake images cause damage! We will now show them all to you!
I think it’s more that the pictures being represented as real is what’s damaging though…
Adobe Stock Contributor. Someone, as a contributor, listed these photos to earn a commission for sales for photo content they say is theirs and own the copyright for.
It’s a decent side hustle but I’d never upload AI crap.
I’m not surprised some stock photo companies are selling AI work. I imagine this is an industry not easy to make money in if you are one of the few remaining firms not owned by Getty.
Fuck Adobe and it’s greedy CEO Shantanu Narayen.
Not great, but also not really Adobe’s fault. Journalists using them are the problem. Back when the fakenews of Israel hitting that hospital with 500 dead went around there were plenty of news article that just had regular stock images from other completely unrelated bombings in the articles, which did nothing more than misguide the reader. That’s the kind of stuff that really shouldn’t be acceptable, but happens all to often.
The media needs much better standards when it comes to photos (e.g. include GPS coordinates and time so we can verify and cross check it easier). Just plastering stock images in articles, AI generated or not, is rarely helpful and often misleading.
Why does the most reasonable and balanced take have the most downvotes?
This is absolutely the journalists’ fault. It doesn’t matter if its AI-generated or not.
Because Adobe willingly selling these images is incredibly dangerous and unethical.
Both Journalists and Adobe are at fault. And it doesn’t surprise me that a company as shitty as Adobe is doing something like this, but we can at least try to hold them accountable.
cool the future looks like shit
As has been prophesized… and it’s only starting.
If we had these before we wouldn’t have to be fighting for real smh
Is it selling fake AI images. Or fake images made by AI?
Sigh…this is only going to make things even worse!
This is why Bidens recent executive order is so important.
AI will give a news face to the internet Images, anyone can now create fake news about anything , while i was surfing over the internet i found that this man died due to Israel-gaza war 'https://themixnews.com/stephen-daniels-obituary/' 'Remembering Stephen Daniels: A Teacher, Coach, and Friend Who Left a Lasting Legacy at Steenberg High School'
The link you posted doesn’t mention Israel or Gaza. Why did you post it?

It’s a mess. I can’t trust anything online as coming from a real human anymore. It’s all filters, generated, or paid for. The God of profit corrupts everything it touches.

That is what happens when the Internet became serious business.

I miss the internet from the times when South Park was making fun of it for not being a serious place to do business and features the early internet YouTube memes.
Things were simpler then.

It will always be more and more important to know the source of the info and how trustworthy it is. This is, of course, why authoritarians like Trump are always going on, trying to discredit the media, especially those with some scruples left.
