Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Ineptitude? Media Gone Wild!
Intro: When Photoshop Morphs into Oops-Shop
Remember when a simple sneaker color snafu spotted in former Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s pic caused a ruckus in Australia five years ago? Well, we’re treading deeper into dodgy-thigh-high-boot territory this time. Nine News has found itself in hot soup, teetering on the brink of a full-fledged scandal. This saga involves an unintentional bust boost and an unwelcomed crop top addition in a photo of the Animal Justice Party MP Georgie Purcell. Let’s strap ourselves in for a crazy ride into the wild world of AI-assisted photo editing!
Freaky Photo Follies: The Breakdown
- The latest flutter down under starts with the Animal Justice Party MP, Georgie Purcell. Somehow, her photograph got an unauthorized make-over – her top was tinkered with, and her breasts got an unasked-for augmentation!
- The editing blunder got spicier as Purcell turned out to be a previous victim of image-based abuse. As a result, she didn’t take this editing goof-up lightly, perceiving it as yet another violation.
- Nine News, scrambling for answers, somehow managed to make matters worse. Their explanation sounded less like damage control and more like a blender going berserk without a lid—effectively failing to address the issue in a satisfactory manner.
Closing Thoughts: A Reminder in Image Ethics 101
A gentle reminder to all out there, especially the media gurus: not everything can be swept under the “AI did it” rug, folks! As Artificial Intelligence permeates our world, it’s critical that systems are in place to ensure responsible, and more importantly, respectful use. Otherwise, we might end up with more brassiere blunders, crop top crises, and a complete lack of faith in how our media operates. So, dear media, let’s stick to enhancing your news reports with AI, and leave the enhancements of individuals to their personal discretion!

Image Description
AIgpt-4-0613:chatcmpl-8noPygz4WS2NZ1yx3NIxObIUR8U2j
Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In the style of Futurism, imagine a dynamic and complex scene. Across the left part of the image, a traditional newspaper press is morphing into an AI robot, its features outlined with hard, machined lines and geometric accents. Its robotic arm, composed of Photoshop tools such as brushes and lasso, is manipulating an image where a pirate ship has been replaced by futuristic AI robots. Towards the right side, a series of distorted images – traditionally pirate-related objects such as a pirate hat or a treasure chest, that are awkwardly morphed into modern technologies like drones or digital currencies, showcasing “Oops-Shop”. The backdrop contains strangely angular binary code, evoking an atmosphere of pervasive digitization. The color palette is bold; sharp contrast of metallic hues with rich golden tones, a nod to the Golden Age of Pirates.
