What’s the opposite of artificial intelligence? The UHH community worrying about AI images.



AI doesn't care... no feelings.

Many of the UHH posts are nothing more than Facebook posts. Not worth reading. It hard to find something photographically interesting. Even most image submissions are marginal at best.

Might be worth a quick look at the OP's profile to learn a little bit about him and why he raised the question. It's pretty valid from what his perspective almost certainly is.

Not all photographers are necessarily nose in the air artists. Don't know if he is or not.

General civility here seems to have taken a real hit over the last few weeks. Not much feeling of folks working to pursue a common interest. Not much reason for a forum without it.

So much for camaraderie, eh?

For breakfast, I had a couple of English muffins with butter and jam and a Granny Smith apple. Oh yes, black coffee too.


What items on your menu were created by AI?

If I'd known it would be needed later, I should have documented in a proof-of-breakfast image ...

Would the image have to be certified?
We know that they can be recherché.

If you need to create or abide by "rules" as to the ethics in photography- try these on for size and see if they fit:

Serios image alteration has no place in pure photojournalism or documentary photography. Aim series retouching or editing that distorts the truth is not acceptable.

In fine artwork, you are the boss. You can opt for reality or fantasy. Nobody should tell you what to do.

Commercial work. I do not advocate false advertising or exaggerating the appearance of any product or service to the extent of creating a fallacy or affectation completely beyond reality. Commercial clients usually want their products and services displayed (visually) at their very best. IA may help add background, environment, and some enhancement in a reasonable and honest manner. There are consumer protection laws in place to prevent misrepresentation in food packaging. Eg. In a frozen food product, you can shot it cooked in the best possible way but you can not substitute fresh product- you have to shoot the product as it is packed and frozen. Commercial clients usually want idealized images of the products or services. We style and style interiors, carefully prepare food photography, pay attest to detail in fashion work, and show even the most mundane products with optimized lighting and camera angles. There are AI additions that can represent a product without falsification.

Portraiture: Most cliets want flatterig images. Retouching is one of the traditional treatments of accomplishing. this. There has been digital software that has replaced manual retouching for quite some time. Now they are marketed as AI. Personally, I consult with each subject and ascertain if the prefer a realistic study or a more enhanced rendition of their appearance. I light, shoot, and retouch accordingly.

To the viewers, clients, or patrons of your art, a photograph is not a camera club competition or technical workshop. The are buying, utilizing or enjoying your images regardless of how the are produced.

AI will not be the end of traditional photography, literature, or any other real discipline. The quacks, phonies, and bad guys will use it for nefarious or dishonest purposes. The "yellow journalists" will become more "yellow"! Honest folks will utilize it like any other tool or technology. For the folks around here who love to argue- constant crabbing about AI certainly outfilters, Canon vs Nikon (etc.), and whether post-processing is legitimate altogether!

The other day a client asked me of one day "will I (me) be replaced by a robot. I told him it would never happen because they would NOT find a robot that was big and ugly enough to replicate me- and it will change you MORE money!

If you like my philosophy, you are welcome to utilize it or any part of it. If you disagree, that's good too! We ca still be friends!

You need to define "use of AI in photography". And while you're at it, clarifying what you mean by "reality of photography" would also help.

You're getting some crap responses because for some people this topic has been covered too much already.

Double exposure is a reality of photography.
However "ghosts" are not.

Must we do this again. Every time a shot is taken with a digital camera, artificial "intelligence" is used.
