1. ALWAYS LABEL. Mark every Al-modified image visibly.
2. ALWAYS CITE. Note the original source and what was changed.
3. ILLUSTRATION, NOT EVIDENCE. Never use Al images to prove identity, time, or place.

With the new Grok 4 Fast, the price/performance curve for AI shifted again. I updated my chart to reflect this change. I have to update it every couple weeks now. I also think the GPQA Diamond benchmark is likely maxed out (the tests themselves have errors, making it impossible to get to 100%),

You may want to check for higher-resolution versions or put a name to a face.” #AI #artificialintelligence #responsibleuse #CRAIGEN
