In an age when every image will be fake, how can we all know what is definitely real?” He also identified that although strange things can currently be present in generated images, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate them as technology advances.
It was said that it was fortunate that this issue didn’t spark a global dispute, because it was acknowledged that the photo had been edited.
