A new position paper argues that the current focus on detecting AI-generated "fake" images is misguided. The authors contend that the definition of a "real" image needs re-evaluation, as modern smartphone cameras use complex algorithms, often neural networks, to produce images. This process is closely related to generative AI techniques, blurring the lines between authentic and manipulated content. The paper calls for a clearer technical definition of "real" images and new benchmark datasets to address this evolving challenge. AI
