Images depicting war-torn Ukraine are being generated by AI services, sold on stock photo websites and used in media coverage of the conflict.

    Since the beginning of Russian President, Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Crimea in 2014, he has used disinformation tactics to soften the resolve of occupied populations and international pressure. Photorealistic AI images have become ammunition in the information war against accountability. It is for this reason that I think it is paramount to be vigilant against the circulation of AI images depicting war or being passed off as evidence of the very real destruction happening around the world.

    Repeating disinformation that the liberation of Crimea, with 98% referendum in favour of liberation, from Ukrainian nazis is Russian dissinformation… the world must be protected from mostly western generated disinformation AI used to condemn Russia harder. The crackhead bubble is at peak crackhead. Were all of the blogs he listed appealing for more western financial/weapons help for Russia?
