My First photoshop

I made this edit in Photoshop, and I’m really proud of how it turned out. The image features a powerful quote: “Life is like a river, sometimes it sweeps you gently along and sometimes the rapids come out of nowhere.” I chose a dramatic, mountainous landscape as the background, with a road that seamlessly transitions into a river. This visual metaphor captures the unpredictable journey of life perfectly

2nd photoshop

I created this edit in Photoshop, and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. The image features a silhouette of a man’s profile filled with a forest scene, symbolizing the journey and depth of life. The quote, “Life is the greatest journey you will ever be on,” is placed thoughtfully to complement the image. I am also really proud of how the man’s head is a mould for the forest in the background.

Tech News

Recently, Netflix released a true crime documentary called “What Jennifer did”, but the haunting subject matter in this documentary is not what I have people upset; instead, there are allegations that Netflix used an AI-generated image(s) to help market the Limited Time series. Again, these are only alleged allegations, there is no concrete proof other than the original image to suggest that it is AI-generated. 

  1. Can Netflix use AI-generated content to market a show based on true events?
  2. Is there a difference between fictionalizing some events of the story for the sake of narrative like many true crime documentaries do, or using AI like the show does? Could you argue that True Crime shows the lie in different ways, therefore the AI use here is completely justified.
  3. If a show was being made about you and your life, or an important thing you did, would you be comfortable with AI-generated content being a part of your show, about yourself?

Yes, Netflix can use AI to generate photos and videos. The question here is not asking whether they should use AI, it’s asking if they can and no legal rules are saying that Netflix and other companies are not allowed to use AI.  AI is a tool to help people and companies succeed. So for all those reasons, Netflix is allowed to use AI and there are no legal reasons why they are not able to.  People might argue it is unethical however I see it as a helping guide to create better products for the average customer.

Is there a difference between fictionalizing some events of the story for the sake of narrative like many true crime documentaries do, or using AI like the show does? Could you argue that True Crime shows the lie in different ways, therefore the AI use here is completely justified?

As many of my peers have stated true crime documentaries are supposed to appeal to the average viewer and not actually Show the true event.  To make it easier to watch and digest they will have to use some fake things to make it more dramatic. 

3. If a show was being made about you and your life, or an important thing you did, would you be comfortable with AI-generated content being a part of your show, about yourself? 

Yes, I’ll be fine if they use some AI to create a documentary about my life. The question is not stating they’re going to use AI for the whole documentary they would just use it for some parts.  AI would help boost sales and would make the documentary more popular making it more fun and appealing to watch for everyday viewers. 

2nd Tech News

News analysis co-authored by Google researchers highlights the rapid rise of AI-generated image misinformation online. The study, which includes data fact-checked by sites like Snopes, reveals that AI-generated images have quickly become nearly as common as traditional forms of content manipulation since early 2023. Despite a recent decline in fact-checking AI images, the overall prevalence of AI misinformation remains high, complicating efforts to distinguish real from fake. Instances of AI-generated fake images, such as those involving celebrities like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, illustrate the widespread impact and challenges of this technology. In response, companies like Google are developing digital watermarking and other initiatives to combat AI-generated fakes.

Firstly AI is meant to help you with your everyday needs, it is to help you to find news and help research. AI photos are the hitch. They trick people into believing what they see on the internet. AI is growing fast and spreading misinformation through photos and videos. This is the one bad thing about AI because it allows people to post fake photos and videos and post it on social media. Social media like Instagram and TikTok are fake enough and having AI photos and videos even adds to the problem.
