Technology keeps on evolving. Remember when we did not accept exposure meters in camera? Remember when nobody wanted a zoom? Remember when Auto exposures were not well received?
I am old school but I cannot deny that AI can beautifully enhance an image. AI is here to stay and it will continue to improve its technology to make our lives easier as photographers.

It has already been said, welcome to the 21 century.

twosummers Lincolnshire England but a three hour drive to London England, there you will find World Class Runway i.e. Catwalk events... To this end I'm posting an AI generated Catwalk Image from flickr which has had it's finger on the pulse of AI for quite some time now... as always UHH is a bit late to the dance... lol

But no worries folks... most Commercial Photographers have little to worry about (except for new large commercial real estate ventures which I made a health living working as a Photo Assistant in Washington DC). My gigs came from my listing in the ASMP web portal to provide same. Now those gigs are often generated from the CAD files used to actually design those structures. Thus that market has been impacted, currently I get a ton of mailed brochures trying to sell me condos using AI generated Imagery.

That said, Wedding Photographers (where the high value assignment are) have virtually nothing to be concerned with here since it is primarily the MOB that signs the check... And their are a tough cookie to please (tradition reigns supreme).

However Fashion Designers are now beginning to eye the merits of AI...
To this end below please find a high resolution Catwalk image with the flickr Tags of

As a Bridal Makeup Artist I'm impressed... Even using Airbrush Medium I would be hard pressed to match in kind.
Please Enjoy....

btw, this is not considered a "mature image" on flickr in as critical body parts are adequately covered...

twosummers what you'll find on London's Catwalks is far move revealing... Have colleagues who shoot there...

I’m “old school” also, a former slide user. I will NOT use admittedly ‘artificial’ means to ‘enhance’ an image. No artificially flying motorcycles for me.

Small thoughts fit easily into a closed mind, but big thoughts require Artificial Intelligence.

Are you saying that you are ok with cheating?

CHG_CANON Loc: the Windy City

You're the only one cheating yourself out of success in photography.

That ‘depends’ - you may have flying motorcycles in the middle of Chicago’s Union Station.

Creativity takes the courage to center the proper text into the AI generation window.

The word “courage” has various meanings these days.

Artificial Interaction of non related items into an image that someone is too lazy to generate themselves for an audience that won't know the difference and won't care.

I find it funny that some people questioned the flying motorcycles, but not the flying van, or the one car going the wrong direction. And I'm not talking about the car "changing lanes". No one knows the make nor model of any of the vehicles, but then they all look so much alike today, no one cares. I guess the key here is, "no one cares!"

Is AI cheating?
Just another method of "art" creation.

Perception....

Oh, wait, must be an "actual real photograph" in its original form, no composites either.
No, it's not a photograph in the literal sense, it's an "image".

Are blond, black, brown, red, or in my case silver, hairs easier to split?

rehess Loc: South Bend, Indiana, USA

Honestly, I’m not trying to be “creative”or “create something new”. When processing slides/negatives {especially the old ones}, I ‘cover’ spots/scratches, with the intent of leaving it as it started; it is a “photograph”, not an “artistic image”, a scene as I saw it, rather than as I wish it had been.

Exactly how does this rise to the level of “truly frightening?” What negative impact does such imaging have on either you personally or anyone else’s preference for more traditional image capture?

Hopefully one gets the AI approach only by pressing a particular button.
