Channel Nine apologises after a digitally altered image of Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell was broadcast on its news coverage last night.

oh dear. i thought it was a belt, not the addition of a mid rift top…

why would that happen anyway? seems stupid to me. why mid rift midriff!?!

edit: turns out i was a bit too literal… it is a rift in the middle of her clothes…

        Which also requires a written prompt in order to generate the altered clothing after which a few options appear for the user to select and go with. The generated imagery is added as a new layer on top of the base image. It looks like they also added some adjustment layers (like for color or for contrast for example).There are so many steps to this where a human has to make a conscious decision to carry on.

    They claimed that they outpainted a cropped version of the image, and the image they showed was what the AI came up with and they decided to print it as a real photo.

    I honestly can’t tell whether simply not caring is worse or not than photoshopping her tits bigger “on purpose.”

    Honestly we should bring back stocks.

    A day in the stocks for whatever idiot did this and the fact checking/editorial team that reviews their work would probably help them understand why people might be touchy about how they’re seen in public.

        I’m not into torture, on other’s at least. I just think that society might benefit from a bit of public humiliation of those that treat others as less than them.

          if they are rotten, it shouldn’t hurt, i dont think it is torture, just corporal punishment.

    Oh wow, I really didn’t think I’d see an example of “oops, AI did this by mistake, no one else is at fault” so fast after reading this article yesterday. Well, maybe it is the other way round, here they claim AI did it itself, the article is more about humans having to correct AI to make it look like AI is working perfectly…

      it sounds very much a “blame the machine”, it was not their fault… who has this an an AI workflow.

      if man:
      break
if woman:
     sexify()

    “…is common practice, the image was resized to fit our specs. During that process, the automation by Photoshop created an image that was not consistent with the original.”

    Oh God I can’t 😂
