this whole bit about "how to spot AI images" is missing the point you can't believe what you see, now and *you never could* images were always potentially extremely deceptive; not to mention those doctored by earlier non-ML means, but even those actually produced by a camera

A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see. Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill. It takes a few seconds to spot a fake and stop the spread of disinformation. Let's learn how! 🧵(1/5)

Babies and young children study faces, so you may worry that having masked caregivers would harm children’s language development. There are no studies to support this concern. Young children will use other clues like gestures and tone of voice.
