Production literacy begins with responsibility
The sampled opening distinguishes AI assistance from authorship and gives attention to local clothing, architecture and pronunciation. Later material separates generation from editing, organises project files, and asks about responsibility when realistic images appear truthful. This combination makes the book more than a list of prompts: it treats production as a workflow with cultural and editorial consequences.
Its strongest premise is that a convincing image is not sufficient evidence of accuracy. That matters especially when representing a particular place or language, where generic imagery can erase the very details the project aims to preserve. The practical limitation is temporal: tools and interfaces change, so durable principles should be distinguishable from version-specific instructions. The sampled material supports an assessment of that approach, not a verification of every procedure or a guarantee that any named tool still behaves identically.
A QUESTION TO CARRY BACK
Which choices require human source checking even when the generated image looks plausible?
