How to Post an AI Photo Honestly

The honest approach is easy: make it clear the image is AI-generated and made by you. That framing is also funnier than pretending it's real.

Say it in the caption

'AI paparazzi shot' or 'made with an app' in the first line removes any ambiguity. It costs nothing and it's the responsible move.

Use the platform's AI label

Where a platform offers an AI-content tag, use it. Several now require it for realistic generated images.

Don't tag it as a real place or event

Skip location tags and event hashtags that would imply the photo is documentary. Keep it clearly a bit.

Get caught by the paparazzi

Paparazzi AI turns any photo into a celebrity paparazzi shot in seconds. Free on the App Store.
