Images and AI

Closing credits

Every image or video on this site reworked or generated with artificial intelligence has its line here: source photo, author, licence, model, what changed and what did not. Today there are 19, all starting from free photos on Wikimedia Commons; further down, the real footage.

The rules

  1. Landscapes, villages and public monuments. Never a private house, a garden or a recognisable property: there a reworked image would tell a lie.
  2. Free source photos. Public domain, CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA (with the same licence for the reworked image), or the Unsplash licence, with the source and, where known, the author; or images generated from text, declared as such.
  3. Geometry is not touched. Light, sky and season may change, cars, signs and cables may be removed; buildings, piers, islands or bell towers are never added or removed.
  4. The mark on the image. Every generated or reworked medium carries the “AI” mark and its line on this page.
  5. Real material stays real. The photos and video of the lake, the films, 3D tours and TriesteVillas listings are not retouched on this site.
