I am older, but younger than many here. I do not give a crap about the future. Our generation and the previous ne destroyed the kid's future, so…

For info, my wife and I decided NOT to have kids when we were married (1983) because we saw where all of this was going.

So AI? Really, you are worried about that?

What does mastering AI mean? You learn to use AI, which doesn't take much user input. It's mostly about making basic choices. You let AI do the thinking, which means your own ability to learn how to do things for yourself stops growing.

I don't get it. What's to learn about pushing a button? Click.

A very interesting talk about "The Truth About AI Getting "Creative" by Mark Heaps, the Senior vice president of brand and creative at Groq Inc. and Jesus Ramirez of the Photoshop Training Channel.

and those who trust their lives to it might end up like that guy letting his Tesla drive into a firetruck a few days ago. For improving photos, it's harmless and usually helpful, but for "our lives (or fortunes!) depend on it"?

I saw that the other day. Very interesting. Just another tool in getting the job done.

I thought the problem was that AI would become the master of us.
Or is it whoever authors the dominant AI will become the master of us?

This is a discussion that’s going to recur a lot in photography and art circles - and has already been touched upon in other groups on this forum. I agree with the sentiment in RG’s response, it does seem learning goes pretty much out the window with the adoption of AI, but I don’t see that stopping its growth. It is a thing of the future, is already a useful part of Adobe’s powerful tool set, and no doubt will find its place in our lives in due course - perhaps in professional and commercial use as it speeds up production. The amateur must decide for themselves, is it enough for them to simply think of an image rather than personally produce the end result? And has anyone stopped using say, Photoshop, just because selections are now improved by AI? I doubt it.

I thought AI was going to master us! Self learning, intuitive software - seems to be able to manage itself.
