From a trust perspective, the convincing realism of AI-fabricated imaging is likely to shake the public’s trust in photographs far more than Photoshop ever did.

But AIFI is just one of countless ways of making images untrustworthy.

There are so many ways that it’s impossible to list them all — and it is even easy to make highly deceptive images that are completely undoctored (see #613).

If TTG focused solely on AIFI, it would promote the perception that “images that do not have AIFI are trustworthy” — a dangerous assumption.

From the TTG point of view, AIFI is “just the newest way” of depicting something other than what the camera lens saw at the moment the picture was taken.
