Identifying AI Images

I'm posting two versions of the same photo here just to illustrate the point.
The original, - and an edit (albeit a bad one!) I've done using AI software.

By overdoing the noise reduction and smoothing the second one looks fake but isn't, just crudely edited.
That's what we are up against so if in doubt just report the pic and let the mods decide.

I would be a shame if our efforts to keep AI pics off OCC creates conflict amongst the users and discourages people from posting.

AI enhanced pictures (meaning using AI to make an existing picture better quality: larger, brighter, sharper, etc.) are allowed. AI generated pictures (meaning using AI to create a wholly fictional image, undress a clothed woman, change a woman's body, put one woman's face on a different woman's body, etc.) are not allowed. As I understand it.

In a few years this topic will be about identifying videos

A very useful & informative thread. Good reference material to keep in mind.

Fango thanks for pointing this out because I regularly use AI to enhance or upscale images for the magazine covers but I must ask, is this a recent rule change?

Because there was a thread in which I upscaled via AI multiple women's pictures and it was deleted.

What thread was it? I don't see any recent deleted threads or posts from you.

There was a thread and I believe it was about image upscaling, I had upscaled a bunch of women's images and then all of a sudden it was deleted.

I remember trying to search for the term "Montgomery glands" because I was trying to demonstrate how the A.I. upscaling didn't overdo the upscaling to the point where the women stopped looking natural and I was using Claudia (jalos012)'s breasts and areola as an example due to her fairly prominent "Montgomery glands"

That thread was deleted a year-and-a-half ago (surprised you even remember it) by someone who's no longer a Moderator here. No reason was given for the deletion.

I feel like I should say at this point: we are not trying to actively encourage the posting of any AI photos, even enhanced ones. Having an entire thread on the topic of AI-altered images is something that would be frowned upon here, I think. If they turn up from time to time for a specific purpose, I think that would be OK. But otherwise, it's probably best not to start entire threads dedicated to them.

Understood

Going forward, I will use A.I. upscaling for the fake magazine covers only. The raw nature of everyday, relatable women on film or very early digital footage is a part of the appeal here. It makes no sense to have them looking like over, airbrushed Playboy models.
