General Discussion / Re: AI Image ManipulationLast post by Bealman - December 08, 2025, 02:37:17 PMReal estate agents have been producing photos of properties for sale that look bigger than they actually are for ages. I know because they did it to my townhouse, and that was back twelve years or so.
I do think that Malc-c has a very valid point, though. #92

The camera didn't lie, it took genuine photos of fake subjects - unlike AI manipulated or, pre-AI, Photoshopped alterations after a photo's been taken. #95

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was taken in by (non AI) fake photos of fairies supposedly taken in 1917. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies #96

All these images above have been in good faith, but to the eye they all look plausible. AI can be used to generate deep fakes and for of an older generation who are so used to believing that a photo can't lie often won't accept it. It was the same when visual effect / CGI software became in reach of the average person and would run on a home PC (albeit a top end one) and people started producing UFO images. There was one that showed two craft fly over a tropical island, and my late father who was stationed at the same island after the war swore blind it was real. People have used AI to generate topless, or even pornographic images of well known Hollywood stars - Its been almost impossible to undo the damage it done to their reputation as the images have to be examined through meta data to prove they were fake. But by then the damage is done. #97

General Discussion / Re: 2025 F1 seasonLast post by Newportnobby - December 07, 2025, 08:46:52 PMNot being minded to feather Sky's pockets, I've had to avoid all news and other spoilers until 6pm tonight. Even this thread just in case someone leaked the result! Not the most exciting of last races but the results, to me, were a reflection of the top 3 this year. Love him or hate him, Max did all he could and the split strategy of McLaren could have paid off for either of their drivers maybe.
I do prefer the team at CH4 over those at Sky anyway #100
General Discussion / Re: 2025 F1 seasonLast post by Coyote - December 07, 2025, 08:17:17 PMPleased that Max lost by less than the number of points that he was penalised by at Barcelona for deliberately crashing into George Russell's car. Felt sorry for Oscar, but his season faded after the summer for many different reasons.
