Stop promoting lies! Require fake image apps to brand them with an obvious "AI" mark.

The Issue

We spend countless hours trying to educate the youth, and the public in general at times, with real images of real situations that are very important and companies like Adobe are providing tools, like Photoshop, to anyone that wants to make "cute" and "beautiful" FAKE IMAGES... which is fine as long as the end user is responsible, but so many are not.
The real problem with that is there are those that have figured out a way to capitalize on the unsuspecting and post tons of these fakes online and call them "photographs" or "look how cute I am, and nobody likes me" (or similar click bait terms) and the uneducated have no idea what is real anymore and it's getting worse by the day. They are providing the mud that is clouding the waters and the companies and websites that provide these tools do not seem to care. As long as their bottom line is growing, why should they?
There are hundreds of these posts now flooding the social media news feeds and using words like "Beautiful Photography" and asking for likes and comments, which generates income for select users that participate in programs like Facebook offers:
Performance Bonus Program:
A limited program where selected creators can earn money based on engagement metrics like likes, comments, and shares on their public posts.

According to a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence journal (2020), AI-generated 'deepfake' images can be almost indistinguishable from real photos for over 40% of people. This highlights the potential scale of misinformation that could be spread through such deceptive practices.


I have begged them to please reconsider what they are doing to the planet with false illusions everywhere we look. Please please please make the apps automatically put an AI stamp on every image it produces so people can tell the difference. 
However, the requests have been ignored, so it's time to get serious and STOP THE MADNESS!
