Well, this isn't the "End of Truth" or anything like that.
But it's certainly going to change how people relate to photos. Yes, you could always photoshop something but that takes both knowledge and effort. This takes neither.
So fake images were way less common than real ones.
Now, that won't necessarily be the case. I don't know how this will catch on culturally but going forward, it's not just possible but probable that any given photo an acquaintance shares is "not real" in some way.
This has already been true for some time, with instagram filters to make people look younger/smoother/skinnier. This is a whole level on top of that.
- throwthrowuknow 2y agoThe food with bugs one was hilarious, as if you can’t find or buy all kinds of bugs and simply drop them onto the food and take a picture. Pretty sure that’s one of the oldest free meal scams anyway.
- azinman2 2y agoExcept that requires time, money, and forethought. This requires 3 seconds on your phone after the fact, and will probably look more realistic than most fake bugs out there.
- romwell 2y ago>Except that requires time, money, and forethought. You missed the point that actual IRL bugs are very easily obtainable for free and without much forethought.
- throwthrowuknow 2y agoI didn’t mean fake bugs. Just grab one from a window sill or buy them at a pet store, it’s pretty low effort. Doing it from your phone also limits the impact since you only have a picture and not a real bug in your food.
