Netflix Stirs Controversy with AI-Generated Images in True Crime Doc
A new controversy is swirling around Netflix's documentary "What Jennifer Did." Apparently, the documentary might have used some not-so-real photos of Jennifer Pan, the central figure in the story.

They're questioning whether it's okay for Netflix to use this kind of technology, especially in a documentary that's supposed to be factual. Read.
There's more to this story, though. The documentary's producer says they used editing software, not fancy AI, to alter Pan's photos. This whole thing highlights a bigger debate: is it okay to alter photos in documentaries at all, even with regular editing tools? Netflix hasn't said anything about the accusations yet, but this whole thing is definitely making us think twice about the photos we see online these days. More.
