Now here is the problem Because #AI fakes have trained you about "too good to be true" scenes, you immediately distrust the picture above *That* is the problem Where before a picture was a picture, now, for everyone, there is the bias of distrust. We, buried in cynicism now, distrust first, and discard evidence *on the bias of 'too good to be true'* Here is another picture from the same scene by the same photographer (Thibault Camus, a photographer for The Associated Press): 3/x

@benroyce@mastodon.social Or is it photoshop? Or CGI? or "staged" ? Without a photographer credit, it can be a number of "faked" sources. and even a staged photo, is not a true depiction of "the actual event." These "re-enactment" crime shows have twisted everyone's expectation of (actual) Journalism.

@benroyce@mastodon.social The sci-fi fan in me went "that has to be The Doctor and Unit soldiers" without knowing any context of the picture. I didn't think it was fake, I thought it was from TV show scene / fan film, and thus not an actual news picture but people in costumes filming a scene. The next picture looked like it was from an actual news story.
