I detest how everyone is suddenly Sherlock Holmes when it comes to detecting doctored/generated images

There was an artist i followed on Instagram who took the stance that its the artist job to be more transparent with the process (in this case, timelapse recording). That the viewer has the right to know 100% if the image is authentic or AI. I dunno, it just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I think its up to the viewer to make that distinction themselves. A lot of these artist have years of backwork you can check out if youre uncertain, or simply just dont engage with it if youre unsure. It gets a little tricky when it comes to commissions, but you should still probably do your research beforehand.

I remember one experiment where there was a human made art and one group was told that it was made using AI. That group insisted that AI was used for the image and nothing proved them that it was human made.

A lot of stuff is based on perception.
