If we're taking it as a technical argument, it's not incorrect. Photoshop has been able to make edits like this for a very, very long time, but it completely ignores the main issue of all of this, which is scale.

I think you could probably point to that just being the single aggregator that makes all this worse, which is if you wanted to do this kind of thing in Photoshop or any editing software, really, there were so many skill and financial barriers stopping the general populace from doing so, which usually meant that those edits had to be done with intent. That could have been good or bad intent.

It just meant that there was a little bit more of a thought process behind it. You had to invest in Photoshop or find a free version of it, learn how to use all of the complex tools. And it would maybe take you, I don't know, like 20 minutes, maybe an hour sometimes to make a very photorealistic manipulation that you could use anywhere.

For nefarious purposes, if you wanted to, that way inclined, AI kind of scraps all of that. It's now landed on phones and web apps, and you can just open a window, tell it what you want to see, and it'll put it there for you. It completely changes the entire landscape of what we've been dealing with.

The accessibility is the main thing. And there's going to be a lot of, especially the stuff that I think people are concerned about, right? Like the kind of like slop that you're seeing on X or Twitter or whatever we're calling it these days. You're not going to go onto Reddit and go, I want to make a very memeable picture of a politician doing something grotesque. You're going to get pushed back.

You might get banned from that platform. You're going to be barred from contacting those people in general. If you're given the means to just... enact that without any barriers, which is effectively what this tech is doing. Half of the advertising for this is you can recreate anything that you can imagine.

I think that was pretty much Google's entire kind of ad campaign for this to the point where they've called their latest tool Reimagine. Like it's meant to be a creativity thing. People don't always have good imagination intentions. And yeah, describing that to an actual human being is going to be uncomfortable or potentially illegal in some cases. Those barriers are just completely removed.
