If you ask me you should add some sort of caption.

There's some kind of parallel here to the need for including </sarcasm> in internet comments. The lack of shared context makes it harder to assume something that "obviously" everyone knows.

Done

This made me think that we, as a society, ought to have some sort of convention to mark AI-generated images as such, like a small watermarked symbol in a corner.

Doesn't really seem necessary unless one is claiming that the image is real. For the image in this post, it seemed obviously fake to me, so I didn't feel the need to label it as AI-generated.

In a factual article, the default assumption is that the pictures are real. You should tag generated images.

It's also useful to give sources for pictures you didn't generate yourself.

Either because they are from a camera or from someone else.

(Just like it's useful to give sources for almost any other piece of media or factual claim or even exercise you are using.)

Whether it's obvious or not seems to depend on a lot of factors. For instance I've seen a lot of Wittgenstein so that made me think it's made up. Someone else might think it's real.

Anyway I think you did a great job with Midjourney. Even the coarse clothes correspond to clothes Wittgenstein wore. Would you like to share your prompt?

Thanks, sure the prompt was:

*Wittgenstein in the front row of a movie theatre, 8k, hyper realistic --q 2 --v 5 --s 750*

I had to do a few re-runs as it kept putting him in a suit and tie. In reality he rarely wore one.

This will solve literally nothing.
