Fake magazine cover created by an AI generator. I don't think it should be kept even if it's being used because it intentionally miss-represents the subject and there's no reason images that don't do so can't be added to where it's being used instead. Adamant1 (talk) 15:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[]

 Keep While COM:INUSE seems to be increasingly dismissed or marginalized, the policy is clear in this case. It does not misrepresent anything and no valid deletion nomination has been provided which also seems to be of little importance when it comes to AI images in particular.

I'd be interested to know how exactly it's not misrepresenting anything when it's being used in the kk.wikipedia article for Cosmopolitan magazine as if it's a real magazine cover when it isn't one. That's clearly misrepresenting things. --Adamant1 (talk) 17:41, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[]
That it's misrepresenting something is a good point but not a good point pro deletion but pro changing the file title, categories, and description. The notable magazine made this image to illustrate AI usage for magazine covers and there's even media coverage of this particular image. Moreover, it's COM:INUSE and not just on kk.wikipedia. The use on the Kazakh WP indeed seems misleading so I'll post on the talk page of where it's used and ask for it to be removed from the article. After that is done and/or assuming that it will be removed, doesn't change that the image is in use even more than once (and also clearly notable as just explained).

 Delete. This is an example image which was used as an illustration in an online-only article; it is not an actual magazine cover. Actual covers for this date range can be seen at [1]; there was never an "AI issue". Omphalographer (talk) 23:58, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[]
Just an FYI, but pinging people who you know will probably side with you in a deletion request really isn't a good faithed, appropriate way to do things. Really you should know that considering how you criticized another users lake of competence in a separate DR. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[]
Deletion requests discussion are based on consensus, not on number of votes. And I here, once and for all, stop interacting with you. RodRabelo7 (talk) 04:44, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[]
This not being a hardline vote doesn't make your behavior appropriate. And I'm going to interact with you as long as you keep disrespecting me or process in deletion requests that I initiated. Otherwise be my guest and go participate in another area. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:51, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[]
Should i take that as a criticism towards me? Trade (talk) 11:49, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[]
@Trade: Not at all. Its your prerogative how you want to vote, but people don't tend to ping people in DRs who disagree with them. That's a general thing to, which has nothing to do with you or how you vote. I probably could have written the comment clearer though. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:50, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[]
@RodRabelo7: It was being used on the Kazakh language Wikipedia article for Cosmopolitan and if I'm reading things right, the image was apparently removed by a random editor on their end. Not surprising really. There's no reason Wikipedia editors would want misleading AI artwork to be in articles anymore then (I assume) we would. Although I guess there's way less to justification for keeping the image now that it's not being used anywhere. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:52, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[]
By going to the archived page of the image, and checking the revision history of the pages where it was in use. It was in use four times. One time was Kazakh WP article where the use was misleading so I asked on the talk page to have it removed which was promptly done. Three more uses on hebrew WP remained and I don't know who and why they were removed.
The image is clearly notable and educationally useful, it was even covered by media reports. Lots of images on WMC can be used in misleading ways, that doesn't make them intrinsically misleading; I suggest moving the file to a title like "Fake magazine cover made using AI by Cosmopolitan magazine". WP:RS news reports about this historically relevant and illustrative image: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Most policy evasions start small and result in the decay of establishes rules and order. INUSE does not specify that only uses that match which uses WMC users had in mind when they briefly thought about the image are legitimate or anything of that sort. It was objectively not a "hoax image" as claimed but a demonstration that is notable. To the law everybody is equal and I think policies are similar when they don't specify otherwise.

Kept: per discussion, esp. Belbury. --The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:21, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[]
