Can DU provide us with .html code with which we can indicate that an illustration we're posting is fake?

4. There is software out there or in development that tries to detect fakes, but

It all looks pretty complex and experimental.

One, somewhere in my treasury of saved pdf articles, claims high accuracy. (text, IIRC)

And of course, DuckDuckGo offers the option in image search of "show AI" or not, and a bunch do sneak through the filter, whatever it is.

California's new AI executive order aims for a watermark on images, and more.

Then, there's the community, pretty sharp. "The Wisdom of Crowds" still works here, while on the wider internet, echo chambers, bots and such have destroyed its value. There are still (mostly) real people here, THOUGH, an inadvertent post, as mentioned in the OP, can bring down jeers and derision.

I have had to trash people who are so focused on only that issue, sorry, even if I agree.

With some civility, it can be done here.

I use some AI-generated images in my mashups and memes. There just isn't the time or talent (in me) to recreate stuff from scratch. My Dad was the artist, not me. But I try to stay away from wildly obvious AI stuff as part of my "art".

This would be qute a task, community-wise, or via some automation, but with over half the internet traffic artificial in one sense or another, kind of important.

And please { you know who you are} stop bashing folks who aren't tech-savvy enough to tell.

Cheers


and by the way mahatmakanejeeves, some clouds can be wonderful to watch, shouting optional.
