AI generated photos - who decides to approve these?

A question for the admins and moderators:

Who makes the call on deciding which AI generated photos to approve?

And why? Photos generated for satire or creativity... OK, I can kind of understand.

But AI photos meant to represent a person are a stain. (I'm being polite.) This is no better than just googling a random pornstar and using those photos for a profile.

There are even "Certified" accounts here using photos that - upon first glance - look legit, but anyone with experience examining AI can see the tells. They are getting better and better, but AI still isn't perfect.

    The first question would be: how do you recognize AI photos?

    [quote]The first question would be: how do you recognize AI photos? Yes, please tell me / show me . . . Hawk[/quote] Unfortunately it's a "black or white" kind of thing, but there are tells. It could be a general "lifeless" look of a person, or sometimes it's literally a detail on the photo that isn't anatomically correct. Other times it's a "feeling" that the photo overall is too perfect. There's a lack of texture where there should be, sometimes the lighting is so perfect from the subject to the background, that even a professional photographer couldn't get it lit that well. Other times it's discrepancies in objects in the photo. AI is getting better and better though, and it's not always easy to tell. Hawk, the next time we cross paths in the room we can talk.

    Edit: It's *NOT* a black or white thing...

    Just noticed my mistake this morning.
