From Norwegian designer Susanne Hæstad. "We have a club called the ‘Get together and get it out on a trip and theatre.' And then I sat alone and fantasized at night: what will we look like when we get old?”


I think both images are great. I feel the original has a darker more ominous feel about old age while the altered image seems more light hearted and a more humorous view of old age. What does one want to project as the "feel"? And what tools does one need to do that? The AI tool may have helped the person to create just as much as the camera was the tool for the capture. AI is here, now, and it is a tool. How we use that tool, for better or for worst, is all up to all humanity.

The private Facebook group I belong to, Create 52 Photography Project, has several members who enjoy the AI programs. To your observation "how we use that tool" - many of the submissions have been tweaked in Photoshop or other editor. Some AI creations are just the beginning point for those who love to do composites, use PS brushes to "paint" and so forth. It's all fascinating and fun!

AI = Artificial Intelligence. Stress on the first word. I went to college with on of the pioneers of AI, Edward Feigenbaum. He was incredibly intelligent. More so than what he invented!

AI follows human-designed rules; basically as the human artists who produce ‘aged’ drawings do.

People that resist advances in technology simply because they have a fear of the unknown (Fear of the unknown is the strongest human emotion - H.P. Lovecraft) are not looking forward. The term Luddite applies. AI is just another step in the evolution of digital imagery. Where it goes and how it becomes part of our world is yet to be seen. Remember, when photography first became universally available, there was an outcry that it would never be a true art form. Just my view.

Then there are many Luddites here in UHH desperately clinging to old F mount D850s and D500s?

Would be a good challenge topic. Take a photo with your oldest gear. No post processing and post it

I believe the AI-generated images that the software produces from user input are used for entertainment purposes, as the original post indicates. I also believe that as technology advances, so will it advance from "something entertaining to something nefarious".

There will be those that will use it to create lifelike images of individuals in compromising positions. Blackmail, divorce, fraud, identity theft, and just about any crime and misuse imaginable will be aided by AI-generated images.

Today's news aired a segment where AI-generated software passed the Law Bar Exam, and it not only passed it, it did so resulting in 10% of the recorded highest scores. So...will the doctor of the future REALLY pass medical school and the Medical Exam or will they sit in their dorm room drinking beer and eating pizza while letting the software do the thinking for them? One may wonder when they are laying on the table someday.

Easy to avoid that worry: just don't be one of the first 100 surgeries the new Doc performs

Being one of the first hundred could be better than being the last.

While I don't think I'll be using AI-generated images a lot, I DO find it interesting.
This is a sample of what I got on the new Photobacks AI when I input "Russian Blue cat sleeping".

Looks a lot like our Russian Blue kitty!
