NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

Don't do this - human rights defenders already have images and videos undermined - don't contribute to it by utilizing AI-generated imagery in this way. Yes, there will be ways to use AI-generated imagery for advocacy - this is not it. Activists we work with @witnessorg constantly defend credibility of pics/ videos.

In Prepare, Don't Panic work we talked to them (+ journalists) about AI-generated media.

A key fear? Undermining their evidence with claims all can be falsified.
