A few days ago X introduced a new AI Image Editing button that lets any user modify images posted by others, even without the original uploader’s consent. Image owners are not notified when edits are made, and the feature is enabled by default with no opt-out option (at least not so far).
Fair enough. They’re trying to reach the broadest audience they can. The sad part is the folks that will actually listen and give a shit is a dwindling number on Xitter. They’re better off posting to both if not already. A massive swath of users that would be more receptive moved to Bluesky or left social media entirely.
Most of them are on several platforms. Some are not, which I agree is disappointing.
