The important thing is not the truth or what is true, but how people imagine that truth, even if it is a lie. Nowadays, people believe in their own truth, even if it's a lie. Truth is something subjective, dependent on who creates it or believes in it. Welcome to the new world of the 21st century.

Laziness of the mind, greed in spending time, blindness... the search for or love of truth is never free, it is an investment - the lie takes the elevator, the truth takes the stairs - And society creates ease, encourages mediocrity, dictates thinking. The incompetents have their mouths full and monopolize the digital space.
You just have to consume, have fun and cut the heads of the protruding brains... Yes, welcome to this brave new world.

@gameover

this is the smart way to do localized ai images. Use a real image as a background and just ai content at the front.

Great work!

Looks pretty fake to me.

Just think of the Covid virus illustrations, they are not a real photo of what the virus actually looks like.

...

and even a proper electron microscope image can be misleading - scientists know what false-colors mean, but ordinary folk could think virii are rainbow colored. similarly, many ordinary microscope images are of stained-prepared objects

And just in case, a polarizing filter or polarized light. Some microscopes are darkfield which gives some not so characteristic color results that would match a real photo.

I wouldn't ban the content, just the description of it. So all the thousands of genAI images that say they're Paris, London, Seattle, Rome, Persepolis, etc. could still be uploaded but with general descriptions, not country name, town name, monument name, etc.

So if you searched for Big Ben, London, you wouldn't get any AI images at all. And I don't think images are well labeled on Adobe Stock - when you look at a page of search results you have no idea that there's any genAI content in there. If you just search, AI is on by default - you have to know to turn it off. And there's nothing - unlike with Editorial, or Premium - that shows you which images in a page of results are AI.

I am aware that having stock models pose as scientists in a lab isn't accurate either, but the sale of the fakery with AI is so vast - the entire factory, all the robots, the solar panels, etc. - and the surface appearance of reality is so different that I don't think it's a relevant comparison.

The example images should be labeled generically - "Modern factory with robot-controlled assembly lines" would have been fine

The 'truth' is under pressure. In the media - especially on social media. Now also to a large extent in photography. What's the point of showing pictures of real locations when the pictures are fake? Here is the entrance to Tivoli in Copenhagen to the left - on the right is the AI-style Tivoli entrance.

The title says Hydroelectric power dam on a river and dark forest in beautiful mountains, Generative AI, but I think some AI design tool came up with this dam and hydro plant - and it doesn't understand the concept.

It's fine to have generic images of a dam and hydroelectric power generation plant, but it has to have a roughly accurate depiction of one. These aren't.

So the above should have been rejected, IMO, but this one works well enough - water flowing over the turbines and down the river:

If it looks like a photo, it can't be at odds with the object it claims to be.

So possibly the earlier examples could be re-titled "Non-working hydroelectric plant stands as monument to wasted money and incompetent leaders" and then they'd be fine?
