A few days ago X introduced a new AI Image Editing button that lets any user modify images posted by others, even without the original uploader’s consent. Image owners are not notified when edits are made, and the feature is enabled by default with no opt-out option (at least not so far).
This post isn’t exclusively about deepfakes. It’s about editing someone else’s images. Making suggestive deepfakes is mentioned in the article as an example, but it’s not mentioned in the title or summary here.
That said, my points stand. Don’t post shit online if you don’t want it to be edited.
With the ease of photo manipulation, society has no choice but to adapt to nonsensical, simple edits. It can’t be stopped. There’s hundreds of apps and programs that do this now. Even adobe’s famous suite.
