Sources:  Merriam-Webster, Amazon, New York Times (1/30/2024)

From the Times:
“The horror now before us is that someone can take an image of a child from social media, from a high school page or from a sporting event, and they can engage in what some have called ‘nudification,’” said Dr. Michael Bourke, the former chief psychologist for the U.S. Marshals Service who has worked on sex offenses involving children for decades. Using A.I. to alter photos this way is becoming more common, he said.

Cosmetics unintentionally get mixed up in the wrong company.
