Do you think AI-generated images should be clearly labeled online to avoid confusion with real photos?

It’s getting hard to tell what’s real and what’s fake online—and that’s kind of scary. With AI tools like Midjourney or DALL·E, anyone can whip up a photo that looks completely real in just minutes. From fake celebrity photos to AI-generated news scenes, it’s messing with how we perceive truth. That’s why a lot of people are calling for clear labels when images are made using AI. It’s not about limiting creativity—it’s about protecting trust.
 
Imagine seeing a photo of a protest or a natural disaster that never actually happened. It can stir emotions, change opinions, and even mislead entire communities. On the flip side, some argue that labeling everything will create unnecessary fear or confusion. But with deepfakes and misinformation on the rise, transparency might just be our best defense. What do you think—should AI images come with a warning sign, or is that overkill?
