>A Fai campaign supporter then provided a different video of the event to OJP that showed the flag right side up.

It would be interesting to know where the "corrected" deepfake originated.

In that case, lmao at all the people who were downvoted to grey (or rather, the people who downvoted them into grey), despite being in the right.

Are you going to update your comment now that a retraction was issued? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50173029

It's embarrassing. Instead, they tell themselves, "well, it could have just as easily been real."

This has always been the case.

However, the more interesting thing going on is that we have never had to reckon with this problem anywhere near as much as we do now, since the barrier to creating fakes has been reduced from "skilled software user" to "all five billion humans who can write".

The ironic part is that the veracity of the debunking is being questioned, so depending on how this turns out, this could either be referring to "haha dumb right wingers falling for AI generated meme" or "haha dumb left wingers falling for AI generated debunking". Truly a rorschach test of a comment.

edit: the story was retracted so the "people manipulated with lies" are the people who believed oregon journalism project?

I feel the same way. Anyone who lies to you is fundamentally insulting you.

Because they want it to be true.

Truth isn't important anymore.

Even more damning seems to be the video of the event and cached images from google, which does not have an openai watermark (yes, verified myself).

Of course it doesn't conclusively prove that the flag was definitely right side up, but you'd really have to bend over backwards to explain why Oregon Journalism Project's "debunking" is watermarked but the counter-debunkings aren't.

lol I didn't see that at all, wow they soooo poorly photoshopped this and then had their all friends in the media like Axios push their lies

Unless I’m missing something all of the pictures in the article and on X that it links to return as being AI generated?

[dead]

And you trust this source because?
