I saw a photographer’s work wrongly accused of being AI, why do we have to prove our innocence? I want AI Content Credentials and a purple tick

I’ll admit it. Sometimes I get fooled by AI imagery. I can scroll through a gallery of photos or watch a video and it takes a while before I realize that I’m consuming AI-generated content. And I can only assume some AI content passes me by completely. But what about the reverse? This week, I saw an Instagram photographer being wrongly accused of pedaling AI-generated content, when they blatantly weren’t. And this isn’t an isolated incident.

I’m not just a photographer, I’m also a writer. And I’ve lost count of how many posts I’ve seen on LinkedIn lately, claiming that the en dash (–) is a hallmark of AI-generated text. Side note – human journos use it all the time. One post even suggested that purveyors of the en dash should quit using it or risk being labelled a chatbot. Great, so we’re skewing our creative autonomy in an attempt to outwit our AI overlords now, are we? Well, I’ve got news for the AI police – FB(A)I – it won’t work.
