While recent discussions have highlighted the positive aspects of AI images, it’s crucial to acknowledge the rather dark side of AI image generation and editing.
A recent demonstration illustrated this concerning trend: an image was created in just 10 minutes using Stable Diffusion. This particular image was a fake, with Bernie Sanders‘ face seamlessly replaced by my own. The process was remarkably simple, requiring no coding skills necessary.
This ease of manipulation underscores a critical point: the conversation about AI and society is one we must confront sooner rather than later.
