In an era when artificial intelligence can conjure a convincing photograph from nothing, the ancient human instinct to trust one's own eyes has become a liability. The tools that once betrayed a fabricated image — the malformed hands, the impossible anatomy — have quietly disappeared, leaving behind a visual landscape where deception travels faster than doubt. What remains is not a technological solution but a human discipline: the willingness to slow down, ask questions, and resist the impulse to pass along what cannot be confirmed.
