we've been able to do this kinda shit since the days of film, it wasn't hard, just required some clever stitching and blending.

It's "more accessible" I'm more concerned about shit like AI generated videos though. Those are spooky. Or also just the general accessibility of "natural bot nets" now.

I wish tools to detect if an image is real or not become as easy to use and good as these AI tools bullshit.

It's fundamentally not possible.

At some point fakes will be pixel perfect indistinguishable.

Any tool someone invents will be used to train an AI to circumvent that tool.

In fact that's how a lot of AI training is done in the first place.
