As long as you have one “real life photo” marked as such that includes no AI, then there shouldn’t be a problem I would say. Make the AI enhanced photo your cover image and have the same image with no AI marked as the real life one, or another angle of the print marked as real life.
They’re not disallowing AI photos, just requiring at least one real life photo.
But, IMO, the AI enhanced photo is also real life, because the real print is there and unmodified. It’s no different than adding text to the photo or removing the background. I wouldn’t call photos like that “not real” either.
There is no human in the existing verification process an while AI is good, it can’t be used to flag those that provide photos that fail to match the verification provided.
It actually is different though the changes are tiny and I missed them first pass looking to see if the original image was changed. But very true about other images. I’m not caught out but others could be.
I also thought of another approach - I could copy paste the real model back onto the AI modified one. That would remove changes made by AI and take it back to being the real model image.
I am saying that human intervention will most likely be needed to handle the reports for these.
Though I could see them implementing an AI detection feature for the photos marked as real print images.
I say give it a week or so and see how it works out.
There are always going to be bad actors out there. At least now it makes it clear to people that are uneducated of the rules that having a real print image is supposed to be the standard.
Real 3D model, real photograph with jelly bean spaghetti and jelly bean eyes.
AI background generated in Photoroom, this app only changes the background, the 3D model remains intact, like cutting it out in Photoshop and changing the background.
I don’t know how to classify the photo either, real or AI?
There are visual tricks even with good film cameras. The problem is those trying to deceive. In a world where AI just keeps getting more realistic and how easy it is to generate images, it may take a lot of human intervention to control this.
