Here is a HUGE problem because of AI. AI can clean up a picture beautifully, BUT it can also alter it in ways we can't even begin to tell.
It would be great if we could get a clearer picture of the shooting, but how do we know nothing else in the picture has been altered? Who do we trust to do this type of work? Who do we trust to report on it?

It's why citizen documentation is important. Maybe a video can be altered with AI and fool the eye, but not as easy if there are multiple videos from several cameras, dash cams, ring cameras from different angles.

When people are wondering WHY residents are out there with their cameras, well, here you go. Their videos stand as witness just as they themselves stand as witness.

this exactly. I’ve said it many times before, but one of the main reasons I hate AI is it dirties the nature of truth and evidence and allows people to fall back on their confirmation biases rather than having to face reality.

Multiple angles, livestreams, and long video are all helpful in these times. I’ve heard AI can’t really produce a consistent video over 20 seconds. So if a video is 5-10 mins long, there’s a good chance it’s real, because AI (at least what us plebs have access to right now) cannot create videos that long.

I believe every AI video needs a watermark that cannot be cropped out or removed, and I believe this should be legislated. Sorry for all those who just make ‘fun’ ai videos, but the people who would distort truth with AI ruined that for them. MOO
