I opened chatgpt.org for the first time, read the instructions and asked the question you see next to the red square. The result is posted next to the green square. It came back in just a few seconds. I'm impressed.

Hmm, seems to have forgotten one thing.

9. Use my cousin, AI Photo Sharpener, to process your image and make it sharper.

You needed AI to tell you that?

He asked about taking sharper pictures with his camera not how to make unsharp pictures sharp in post.

We use sharpen and DeNoise AI and LrC and PS are adding AI tools, so I was curious. I posted this hoping some of you might be curious to try it on you own. For not being from a photographer, I thought this computer generated response was pretty good.

Nothing very impressive about that. That is all basic stuff that any photographer would be able to tell you. I entered the search phrase"Steps to capture sharp pictures with a camera" into Goggle and got a much more detailed response than that in the very first result.

Acoarst not. But he was happy to let AI do all the typing without him having to actually dictate his common knowledge into a voice to text app.

So, everyone has an opinion and criticize the op.

The thing is: All the answers provided by the AI are basically tack on, even if some are a mix bag such as VR on a tripod or close the aperture as too narrow will create a blur...

When you want to test the accuracy of something, you have to know your stuff or have a point of reference. In this case, instead of blasting the op for asking 'something you should know' you should assume he knows what the heck he/she is doing and wanted to check the legitimacy of the answer, not him or her trying to learn from the chatbot.

As to give an alternative to find the answer, this is not the purpose of this thread now, is it?

Sources of information are multiplying and testing one, just for fun, should not be a source of disparaging or 'use a more acceptable source'.

And many wonder why folks are hesitant to share anything... I don't.

Nothing very impressive? Was the OP trying to impress, or simply inform?

The point was that the AI app might be a good source of information. So if you are trying to learn, and enter a basic question, you might get a very thorough - and basic - yet easily understood answer.

We used to call this "research," or "learning new information from a reliable source." In ancient times, one might journey to a center of information called a "Library" which held tomes of knowledge. Or one might enroll in an academy of learning, become an apprentice to an expert, or simply enroll in a class (if such were available.)

In modern times, people consult "Goggle" as you describe.

In contrast to the old way of consulting verifiable sources of information (by author's reputation, expert's portfolio, or academy's reputation), the key question now about your Goggle and the OP's ChatAI is, how reliable is the source and the information provided?

As a wildlife photographer I disagree with the following points on your list.
1. A tripod would slow me down, a lot, I would miss about 70% of my images of wildlife.
3. I use my lenses wide open to separate the subject from the back ground.
4. If I used manual focus I would again miss about 99.9 % of my images of wildlife.
I agree with everything else on that list.
