I started a space photo group. Real pix, no AI. Joint to watch, or post. (Ok to post other people or NASA if you don't take space pix.) Ask or answer questions, just a fun place to hang out. 

 

Feel free to join and post! 

https://www.facebook...s/onlyrealspace

 

DESCRIPTOIN: 

Too many Space Facebook groups have more and more AI and fake pix presented as real.

 

 

This group will have no A.I., no fakes. Just real space photos...by you, by other people, by any human, or any space agency.

 

 

Max of 3 posts per person per day please.

 

 

Must include photo credit. Please include basic tech info (if you know it)

 

 

Flat Earthers will be ridiculed and blocked.

 

 

If it's a composite (like Milky Way you took with mountains photo you took), that's fine, but please tag as composite. This group is about truth.

The intent seems to be to block fully AI-generated images, but just want to confirm if real photos that have been processed using AI-based tools are still allowed or not.

 

There are a few popular noise reduction and star reduction programs used by astrophotographers which use machine learning and astronomical data sets to more accurately reduce star bloat and noise. It doesn't mean the results were actually generated or manifested by AI, just that AI helped refine the images in more accurate ways.

 If you're talking about StarX, NoiseX, StarX, etc. Sure. That's fine.

 

Those are called AI, but they're such low-level AI they're barely AI. More like noise reduction applied in various ways.

What I want to avoid is straight-up entirely created in AI from scratch nebula  for instance, everything on this page:

I'm on several space groups on Facebook and SO MUCH of that stuff gets thrown in with European Space Agency and NASA pics that are actual photographs, it's ridiculous, and people oooh and aah about it. It's just...wrong.

 

So if you're using StarX, NoiseX, StarX, or Topaz DeNoise on actual photos you took, your stuff is welcome on that page. Good question and I'll post a copy of this on there now.

We're entering a world where people won't be able to tell what's real and what's not. I want to do a small part to avoid that.

 

For instance, I just posted on this video

https://youtu.be/JPB...zvfZIMcTPqAiPBP

 

this:
0:01 and 2:35 That's not a real pic / vid of Sirius, it's AI or a digital animation. I wish science channels would mark artists conceptions as such. Everything else in this video is solid, why leave that nonsense in there without saying it's not a photo? You present it as one ("This is Sirius....") Our Sun is the only star we have pix that clear of (and much clearer)

Thank you.
