Yeah, I read their about page. I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure. But mostly, I don’t trust articles with AI image headers. It makes it seem like the article is written by a bot.

hperrin , 1 day ago to Showerthoughts in Why don't low birth-rate countries make immigration to their country easier?

I agree with everything up until you said “dilutes”. I would argue that immigrant cultures don’t dilute the host country’s culture, they add to it. In other words, the culture that was there still exists in the same amount and in the same “concentration”, and immigrants bring their culture to newly developing areas of the country/state.

I’m not gonna trust the headline of an article with an AI image from a place called epicenter.works.

The driver will work fine, but it won’t update to the latest one in the future without GE. (Windows update might update it, but they’re always several versions behind.)

So your “friend’s” unethical business hired unethical workers and now you’ve come here to ask for advice on running your unethical business without paying anyone. Got it.

You are not a good person if this is how you want to get through life.

Your “friend's” business is very unethical. Maybe your friend should think about what they’re doing with their life, and quit doing this.

Maybe just write the academic works yourself, then they should pass.

hperrin , 7 days ago to Linux in SDesk OS, and frowned on open sourced?

I don’t have any problem with an open source tool using a proprietary language or build tool, but I certainly would never contribute to it.

hperrin , 7 days ago to No Stupid Questions in Photographers Push Back on Facebook's 'Made with AI' Labels Triggered by Adobe Metadata. Do you agree “‘AI was used in this image’ is completely different than ‘Made with AI’”?

Yes. I think the question was should it be labeled as “photoshopped” (or probably “manipulated”). I don’t think it should. I think those labels would be meaningless if you can’t event change the aspect ratio of a photo without it being called “photoshopped”.

I literally described to you what people mean by “photoshopping” in the comment you’re responding to. Can you really not tell that I know that? Also, dropping the r slur will definitely help get your point across, right? You’re really living up to your username.

There are absolutely different levels of image editing. Color correction, cropping, scale, and rotation are basic enough that I would say they don’t even count as alterations. They’re just correcting what the camera didn’t, and often available in the camera's built in software. (Fun fact, what the sensor sees is not what it presents you in a jpeg.) Then there are more deceptive levels of editing, like removing or adding objects, altering someone’s appearance, swapping faces from different shots. Those are definitely image alterations, and what most people mean when they say an image is “photoshopped” (and you know that, don’t lie). Then there’s AI, where you’re just generating new information to put into the image. That’s extreme image alteration.

These all can be done with or without any sort of nefarious intent.

You don’t have to open photoshop to do it. Any basic editing software will include a cropping tool.

A lot of photographers will take a photo with the intention of cropping it. Cropping isn’t photoshopping.

The label is accurate. Quit using AI if you don’t want your images labeled as such.
