Meta is erroneously tagging photographs as being "made with AI," and it could be triggered by basic tools in Adobe's editing software.
In an effort to help users distinguish photos from AI-generated art, Meta announced in February that it would begin to label posts as AI-generated if it detected the image had been manipulated in third-party software like Adobe.

Former White House photographer Pete Souza said in an Instagram post that one of his photos was tagged with the new label.
Souza told TechCrunch in an email that Adobe changed how its cropping tool works and you have to “flatten the image” before saving it as a JPEG image. He suspects that this action has triggered Meta’s algorithm to attach this label.

Likely tagged by AI thus made by AI
And like all AI cannot be held accountable for mistaken
Another reason I don’t use Adobe but use Affinity.
@thewebrecluse I've been musing about this.
Even when an image is created with a camera, or a stylus, if it is edited with AI in some way, it is no longer an original creation. A lot of software tools use AI to make image adjustments.
The lines are all becoming more blurred, and the implications of AI being so integrated in all creative workflows are only starting to be considered.
A cosplayer posted to X about an Instagram photo of her work that had been incorrectly tagged as being "Made with AI."
They wrote, "My cosplay made with the physical labor of my own hands is being labeled as AI content on Instagram, with no way to correct this tag."
