most phone cameras alter the original image with AI shit now, it's really common, they apply all kinds of weird correction to make it look better. Plus if it's social media there's probably a filter somewhere in there. At what point does this become the ship of thesseus?
my point here, is that if we're arguing that AI images are semantically, not photos, than most photos on the internet including people would also arguably, not be photos to some degree.
The difference is that a manipulated photo starts with a photo. It actually contains recorded information about the subject. Deepfakes do not contain any recorded information about the subject unless that subject is also in the training set.
Yes it is semantics, it's the reason why we have different words for photography and drawing and they are not interchangeable.
The deepfakes would contain the prompt image provided by the creator. They did not create a whole new approximation of their face as the entire pool it can pull on for that specific part is a single or group of images provided by the prompter.
yeah idk why they said that, it's objectively wrong.
