This will most likely be moved to the links section.

Might have been better adding it to the existing thread.

With disinformation already prominent on the internet, along with "photoshopped" photos, AI is the logical (inevitable) next step.

Thanks, the struggle continues as to when and where I should make my posts.

Should be fine for main discussion; it's just that we've seen topics disappear to the Links section when the only element of the opening is a link

Obligatory response from ChatGPT 3.5 Turbo"

AI technology has already started to make a significant impact on photography, and it is expected to continue to revolutionize this field in the years to come.

Let’s take a look at how AI will affect photography:

1. Automation: AI can automate many repetitive tasks such as sorting through images and identifying which ones are the best. It can also rename, edit, and organize your photographs.
2. Editing: With AI, you could quickly enhance an image’s brightness, contrast, and saturation levels. AI can also change the background, add textures and filters to your photograph to make it look more striking.
3. Image recognition: AI can help identify an object or a person in the image, making it easier for professionals to sort and search for their preferred images.
4. Image restoration: AI can help in image restoration by removing scratches, stains, and blemishes, which is useful when working with vintage photographs.
5. Style transfer: AI can capture an artist’s style, allowing photographers to apply that artistic style to their photographs. Overall, AI is transforming the photography field, and it is exciting to envision the future possibilities. The integration of AI technology in photography will deliver quicker, better, and more accurate results, making photography a more accessible medium for people of all skill levels.

I can see some problems with AI and am sure others could add to this list. How do we know that a photograph of a crime scene is a depiction of the actual scene or one that has been AI created or altered? With historic images how do we know whether or not the image we are viewing depicts the historical truth or is an AI manipulation. Those Holocaust photographs, those images depicting brutality of what ever cause, etc, they're all fake. If the images can be called into question, then the events they purport to record can also be called into question. Want an image from a famous working photographer, just place an order with AI Image Productions. Satisfaction Guaranteed. It has been suggested that an AI watermark be required in all AI files so that any image that is AI originated will be identified as such. Telling the truth is a reasonable requirement, it seems to me.

We already have the issues listed with manipulations.
Things, people, skys, etc. Added and deleted.
This just takes the whole thing into fantasy pictures and are not photos just as much as photos are not paintings.
Different art forms using different media. AI " Photos" are not photos as photos have historically defined.
AI art is just that, AI art. Not photos.

How do we distinguish an AI photograph that is artificial created with no actual connection with the scene it purports to record from a photograph from a camera that shows a real scene that exists in the world. I think AI involves more that sky replacement and other image manipulation. I am not saying that its use is entirely a bad thing. I saw a report where it was asked a question in a foreign language that it had no prior knowledge of. It learned the language on its own and answered the question. I could see how it could play a role in saving languages that were on the brink of going extinct. This is but one example. Thanks for responding.

We all use the internet even though we don't know if what we are looking at, be it image or text, is truth or fiction. We all have learned to live with it.

Be careful out there!
