AI Gives You a Bit of a Lift

A local Australian TV station, Channel 9, has posted a photo of a senator, MP Georgie Purcell, in an article relating to her party but they have stuffed up with the Senators altered photo, removing part of her clothes and expanding her breasts.

Does their Photoshop have an automatic sexist button? Their media response that it was an accidental change when resizing the photo sounds like a lie as any resizing would be proportional not specific and any cropping is to the size of the photo not the clothes.

It is not clear who is the stupid one here, the software or the TV channel for thinking people will believe them.

If this is what AI is doing we don’t have to fear too much.
