Like, just as with those who think that the information they ask ChatGPT and the like is true, how many of those who ask the AI for images will believe that they are a representation of reality to which the AI had access because of a supposed omniscience that these people falsely attribute to it?

Can you imagine? A person convinced that the fake images they create are real in some twisted way? I’m guessing it will be a very small number, but I doubt it will be zero.

    Images generated by AI are only “fake” if you falsely present them as actual photographs or as digital art made by a human. There’s nothing inherently fake about AI-generated images as long as they’re correctly labeled.

    Also, suggesting that all information provided by generative AI is false is just as bizarre. It makes plenty of errors and shouldn’t be blindly trusted, but the majority of its answers are factually correct.

    This kind of ideological, blanket hatred toward generative AI isn’t productive. It’s a tool - nothing more, nothing less - and it should be treated as such. Not as what you hoped it would be or what marketing hype wants you to believe it is or will become.

      Well, when I said “fake” I was referring specifically to those images that are passed off as real. I assumed that it was over-understood, although maybe I didn’t make myself clear enough.
