Hi. We apologize for not reviewing the published image before. We relied on collective support, and the event is a collaborative effort originating in S & Central America. Local groups trust collectives & associations they work with; the image source was not verified. We are currently in discussions with the groups involved to explain why using AI is not beneficial and what it does to the planet. Thank you for your feedback, and we will be vigilant to prevent similar situations in the future.

She will tell us about the situation that indigenous communities face in the face of the climate situation and the policies related to this situation.

@ScientistRebellion promoting a lecture about climate change using AI slop is certainly a choice. I can see numerous issues with the image on the right that suggest AI, particularly distorted faces and the fact that one of the women is missing a hand. All of their hands and feet are mangled in fact. It is often difficult to fully abstain from an environmentally destructive system, but GenAI is not difficult to abstain from. Using this environmentally destructive technology is not necessary.

@ScientistRebellion obviously this was quickly done, but it does have the distinct advantage that it doesn't contain any amputations in it. I dropped the people from the second image because I generally don't like to depict native cultures without first either researching or consulting with them about the depiction. You have my permission to use this image anywhere you like in any context that you like for no charge, on the sole condition that you stop using genAI for your marketing materials.
