> and if the meaning is useful and people could figure it out, you're allowed to use it. Right, it just doesn't convey that meaning to me, it jarrs. Of course I understand the intent, I just mean that it's not immediately clear, not without making me think 'that's not quite right'. To be clear, I don't take issue with 'fake', it's its attachment to 'image' that bothers me. 'fake photo' or 'photorealistic CGI' seems fine, more reflective even of the concern people have - few people have a problem with computers generating images at all, it's when the authenticity of the source or subject is doubted or potentially falsified that's controversial.
