So many great points Maureen! It will be very hard to find accuracy in identifying and dating photos in the future. Getting harder even now. I even struggle when clients want me to crop borders off photos now, as it alters some of the identifying information. Doing that on some cabinet cards now - feel like I will provide both images.
I like being able to see both images side-by-side so I can look for changes the AI made. Sometimes faces become totally unrecognizable as a result of AI trying to make an image more "pleasing."
I appreciate that MyHeritage places their logo on altered images, even though I find some of the things they do to be a bit spooky. I try to limit myself to colorizing there, which I have to admit they do pretty well.
I hope that a standard will develop that requires some sort of notification, watermark, etc. placed in a visible area on all altered or AI-generated images. There's too much room for fraudulent images being used as "proof."
