## Resource

When AI altered a cherished family photo, turning everyone into digitally perfected strangers, it sparked a deeper conversation about authenticity, memory, and tech’s emotional toll. The cousin’s well-meaning edit—intended as fun—ended up alienating the family member, especially amid existing tension. The takeaway? Let the original, unfiltered photo stand. Tech can warp reality, but real memories and human connection can’t be edited out.
