Scrolling through social media recently, I noticed a post where someone shared an AI-edited image that swapped a well-known actor’s face onto another person so perfectly that it was almost impossible to tell it wasn’t real. The user explained that at first, they felt both impressed and uneasy because the realism was unsettling, even though they normally don’t get surprised by online content. The discussion quickly evolved into thoughts about how such AI manipulations challenge our understanding of reality, personal boundaries, and trust in the content we see online. It made me reflect on how people adjust to digital images that blur lines between real and fake.
