Slop Detective calls all images "photographs"

It hurts me in the BFA to see a 1565 Pieter Bruegel the Elder painting described as a photograph. It was painted 300 years before photography was invented.

There is no category for this product so I am choosing Kagi News.

Use either a less specific term ("image"?) or a more specific term ("painting").

In general I think that text more tailored towards the specific image would be beneficial.
I'm gonna piggy-back off OP to also mention:
There's images in there that clearly show the chatGPT window from which they were prompted. I was confused whether I was judging the authenticity of the screenshot or the generated images inside.
Also, I'm skeptical of the general usefulness of this game. You all know that meta-signals like where the content is coming from is often more helpful in identifying slop rather than the content itself. Maybe the game could instead feature screenshots from around the web which provide context. E.g. a picture embedded on Wikipedia, vs one on a (generic) social media site.

I assumed it was meant to be a photograph of the painting? But yeah the wording is a bit odd... Almost like, AI described it lol.

Hi there,

The description has been updated so that not every image is described as a photograph. Sorry about that! If you are still seeing them referred to as "photography", you might be playing on a cached version of the game. Clearing your cache or doing a hard refresh should update it.

Thank you 🙂
