Better title: “Photographers complain when their use of AI is identified as such”
I saw a video posted by someone who claimed to have taught their cat how to skateboard. and at the bottom it was tagged made with AI.

Did they just e.g. remove a passing car from the background*, and will tags on some images lead to untagged fake images being trusted more? Oh this fun new world we’re in.
*as someone else pointed out, if it was a minor edit, was the underlying technology using legit training data or unlicensed stuff
no it was an AI generated video of a cat using a skateboard
But they did use AI…
Right? I thought I went crazy when I got to “I just used Generative Fill!” Like, he didn’t just auto adjust the exposure and black levels! C’mon!
I think every touch up besides color correction and cropping should be labeled as “photoshopped”. And any usage of AI should be labeled as “Made with AI” because it cannot show which parts are real and which are not.
Besides, this is totally a skill issue. Removing this metadata is trivial.
Some of the more advanced color correction tools can drastically change an image. There’s a lot of gray in that line as well.
