Either way, it doesn't really matter. The voice of the photo is what matters, not the reality. In today's times, you have to take them as they are, not as they come off. AI and the Internet as a whole has given a voice to people who shouldn't be given a voice. We have to evolve to keep up.

not the reality

Knowing how, when and why something was altered is very important. It tells you a lot about the people involved, their motivations and even their "voice" as you put it.
