The Visual Hallmarks of AI Images
Learn to recognize the visual hallmarks of AI images and improve your detection skills.
Ethan Markwell is a sharp-minded writer with a passion for unraveling the complex web connecting technology, creativity, and trust in today's digital world. As a regular contributor to Ai or Not, his essays and deep dives shine light on how artificial-intelligence tools from image generation to data manipulation are reshaping industries, influencing public perception, and challenging our ideas of authenticity.
What sets Ethan apart is his ability to translate dense, technical developments into relatable stories and cautionary tales, the kind that stick with you long after you finish reading. Whether he's unpacking how big brands use AI visuals to craft compelling marketing campaigns, or warning about the dangers of AI-generated scientific "data," Ethan writes with clarity, concern, and curiosity.
Outside of writing, Ethan is the sort of thinker who enjoys exploring the ethical and social undercurrents of innovation, the unintended consequences, the human stories, the moral questions. His work often reads less like technology journalism and more like a thoughtful cultural critique: probing not just what AI can do, but what it should do.
