    I mean I don’t think AI enshittification of the truth can actually degrade the reality of the royals anymore than it already is.

    I think it’s fairly well accepted, thanks to analysis of the metadata, that Kate’s recent picture was just badly Photoshopped, no AI involved.

      Yeah but my point still stands. There is such a degree of unreality to any media that they put out that photoshopping their photos really doesn’t impact the truth in any meaningful way because there wasn’t any truth left to corrupt in the first place.

      It’s all an advertisement, it’s just a question of where marketing focused their efforts on selling their product (which is the public not turning against problematically rich and powerful former dictators of a brutal empire so they can continue to own half of England).
