And there are literally billions of everyone else.

Do you not see that the amount of fake images has exploded with free access and ease of use? That’s what a tool does. It’s silly to argue generative AI doesn‘t make a difference in the proliferation of fake images, just like it’d be arguing that digital photography on a small multi-purpose device that is always with you doesn’t make people take more pictures.

What I actually said couldn't be any clearer, and it's rather silly to twist my words into a strawman you can argue against.

I very much disagree, since you went on to make your whole point with an unrelated matter and apparently I misunderstood your point. Maybe you don’t know how to make your point clearer, but that isn’t the same as it being impossible to be clearer.

> and it's rather silly to twist my words

There was no twisting intended, and if I misconstrued your point I’d appreciate the correction (i.e. clarification).

Specifically: If you do agree that access to generative AI increases the proliferation of fake images (do you? I’m really asking. Sounds like you might), then what exactly is your objection to the original point?
