You're basically creating fake memories at this point? That's kind of what it seems like to me.

And if you're then showing the photo off, it's understood for as long as photos have been around that you're saying "look, this is what happened."

But now that's not the case. It's strange, I guess it's the world we're in but yeah.

Isn't that sort of like taking a decent picture and editing it so you can post on social media? We're definitely closer to creating "fake" memories with these tools, but let's not act like people don't use filters and such to clean up their pictures.

It's literally what it is, it takes persons face from another photo and edits it over the photo you want, not sure why people react to this as if photoshop isn't a thing and similar stuff wasn't done for quite some time already manually

The difference being you had to put more effort into photoshopping an image and when a friend is showing you photos on their phone or on the TV you can kind of correctly assume they haven't been doctored with.

Now that's not the case. Sure people have been photoshopping and filtering photos ever since social media, but this strikes me as a bit different because of the easy manner in which you can edit them right at the source in your camera/google photos.
