When AI Takes Over Media CleanUp: The AI’d Altering of MP Georgie Purcell’s Image

Without the need of a magic wand or a sorcerer’s chant, the media successfully gave Victorian MP Georgie Purcell a virtual facelift – thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI). This *before after* spectacle was presented courtesy of Nine News. But like with any magic trick, while some were entertained, others questioned the fairness of the act. Josh Taylor and Patrick Keneally pull the veil back on this graphic wizardry and ponder the ethical implications in their article for The Guardian.

Key Takeaways from the Story:

• Call it Photoshop on Steroids: AI has leveled up from identifying cat photos to drastically altering images, as can be seen from the virtual nip and tuck conducted on MP Georgie Purcell’s image by Nine News.
• Is it Magic or is it Tricky?: This incident highlights the murky ethical waters we’re diving into as AI technologies become more potent. AI’s unchecked run in media production might lead to a world where the line between reality and fiction is permanently blurred.

Let’s Break it Down, Shall We?

AI’s entrance into the world of media manipulation definitely adds a plot twist in the tale of technology and ethics. While the revamp of MP Georgie Purcell’s image might have been an innocent card trick, the potential for misuse can’t be around-the-corner-peeking-level ignored.

As we cheer AI for its Rose transformation from a messy sketch to a detailed portrait (Titanic reference alert), let’s not forget to keep our audience applause at a manageable level. When AI-driven media editing morphs into more mischievous wizardry, like creating deep fakes (which are more Voldemort than Harry Potter), we might bemoan the unchecked power we bestowed on this tech sorcerer.

So, let’s stay technologically enchanted but ethically awake – the dragon of AI misuse might be lurking in the shadows, waiting to turn fairy tales into cautionary tales!
