This is one of the required steps on the way to holodecks. I've been ready for it for 30 years.
It's going to be used prolifically for something much more boring. Embellished product listings and fake reviews. If online shopping is frustrating now. It's probably going to get a lot worse trying to weed out good quality things to buy as photographs are no longer reliable.

It's a shitty toy that'll make some people sorry when they don't have any photos from their night out without tiny godzilla dancing on their table. It won't have the staying power Google wishes it to, since it's useless except for gags.
But, please, Verge,
It took specialized knowledge and specialized tools to sabotage the intuitive trust in a photograph.
get fucked
There are even actual statues of completely made up stuff.
I wish tools to detect if an image is real or not become as easy to use and good as these AI tools bullshit.
It's fundamentally not possible.
At some point fakes will be pixel perfect indistinguishable.

Any tool someone invents will be used to train an AI to circumvent that tool.
In fact that's how a lot of AI training is done in the first place.

If I say Tiananmen Square, you will, most likely, envision the same photograph I do.
There was film of that exact event. The guy didn't get run over by the tank, he got on the hood and berated the driver.
Cops in America would run you over for less
Well, luckily all just had a talk and some tea about it and nobody died
Explain away all these other photos then
What do you mean explain away? I pointed out that they always stop the footage in a way that implies he dies- when he clearly doesn't. Having an article about how AI photos can be used to manipulate our perception of reality cite an instance of careful propaganda manipulating the perception of what happened was just a little on the nose.
Seriously posting about a massacre from over 30 years ago where a few hundred people were killed fighting the cops like its supposed to carry water today? Just compare that to the massacre that's happening right now in Gaza, way more actual evidence of heinous crimes and it's way more of a concern to me because it's my government funding it.
