 @stephaniewalter yikes, seems like it was just a mistake "I'll use AI to help this photo fit better". I feel like so many people are going to fall into these problems by not realizing the implications. Years ago, long before AI, a publisher decided to edit a book cover photo of mine to make my photo more smiley. So it's not new, but before it was definitely intentional, now your intention might be to create a better crop of the photo, and instead you get this sort of thing. 6 comments
 @rachelandrew @stephaniewalter There are some CDN:s that provide it: https://cloudinary.com/blog/generative-fill-ai-powered-outpainting @stephaniewalter @rachelandrew Yeah, way worse “Generative Fill works with Cloudinary’s padding crop modes and leverages the new gen_fill option for backgrounds” Seems like it’s the basic image transformation crop mode of an image CDN that has gotten a new background option besides classic color fill that now instead AI generates a full for the empty areas @stephaniewalter @rachelandrew “Automatically create and deliver AI-powered e-commerce experiences faster, that increase conversions, and boost sales.” “Generative Fill expands images with matching content to perfectly fit various aspect ratios at scale.” @rachelandrew yeah I think it wasn't intentional, but if you use the smart cropping in Photoshop you know it will change the photo with AI so, at least tell the person and ask for validation before publishing. You would not have chatGPT rewrite the speaker's title or description without double checking with them before (I hope?). |

@rachelandrew @stephaniewalter And platforms could possibly start doing this by default – rather than letterbox or crop, have AI extend the image to the correct aspect ratio
Smartphones are already automatically making manipulations to photos taken – blurring the line between authenticity and retouching
And eg. FaceTime adjusts your eyes in realtime to adjust for the offset of the front-camera and make eye contact look like eye contact
What’s the next step of approachability enchantment?
