Here's another worry as a result of 'using' AI, one that perhaps outweighs the threats to stuff like how it will affect photography and the like. 
An excellent speaker like most who do TED talks.

But Admin does often move posts to other sections. I made a post of an example of using generative fill, and Admin moved it to the photo gallery. Meanwhile, he doesn't seem to move posts about totally AI images. I wish there was more consistency.
Does it really matter that much to you. Seems most in this discussion are focused more more on the subject than where they are reading it. If you dont want to see it just click past it and move on.
I think its fascinating, whether its 100% photography or not. As someone pointed out, Photoshop already has an AI tool, tomorrow there may be 3, or heaven forbid 4 new AI tools. Are photographers going to stop using Photoshop or Lightroom. I think not. 'Purests' just won't use the tool, but I bet many won't be able to resist.

Nice capture Voss. Bit old for the 'playground' I would have thought. Beer, fag and a walking stick

Carl's posts indicate that he may face some limitations around communication. If so, some understanding and compassion might go a much longer distance than rudeness and cruelty.
Well said and goes for UHH in general. After all, it's coming up to Christmas, the season of...

Never, Nevvuh, NEVVVVVUH turn them off !
Why on earth not? I've never used them. And why such vehement instructions with shouting for goodness sake?

If you see them on your camera screen or viewfinder, they are to help you compose the picture you are going to take.
If you see them during post processing on your computer, they are to help you again with cropping so you get a balanced result.
They can be turned off in your camera and also in your pp app.

We have one almost exactly the same. Use it very morning.

A big problem with many of us 'seniors' is lack of activity. By the time we reach traditional bedtime, our bodies aren't tired enough. Our brains, perhaps stimulated by computer play and the bright screen, may be tired but are still fizzing with the mental stimulation.
I'm waiting for a double hip replacement and queried the fact with the doctor that since the discomfit etc (pain) has got worse, I seem to fall asleep pretty quick, even during the day but also at night.
I've been relatively inactive apparently, but the pain/aches are tiring the old body enough that its ready for a rest.
Ive also stopped using the computer and reading books on the ipad, for at least an hour before bed.
Am sleeping better now than I have for quite awhile, except when I get woken by turning over in bed and ending up in a bit of pain again. That wakes me up till I can get comfy again.

You put that soooooo politely. Good on you, I guess, but I call a spade a spade. No patience for repeat offender idiots who are apparently exceptionally proud if their idiocy.
Sorry, didn't mean to repeat your post but hadn't read that far.

In answer to your title question: Not if you are a photographer and want to remain as such rather than a digital artist
I cant see how this relates to what is being asked.
I think you are being just a little bit provocative really.

I've been enjoying your work since you started messing with AI...you're getting better every project, so enjoy, and continue to produce art!
And I second that comment
When AI first reared its ugly head I thought 'never for me, the world and definitions of what we see and don't see are changing too quickly, its not right, it going to cause trouble'.
In one small respect, the pictures you are making curmudgeon and the enjoyment you are obviously getting from your efforts, have changed my opinion somewhat.
In every art form, regardless of how its created, it's beauty, or appeal is in the eye of the beholder.
People here debating the reference to what its going to be called, or not called, don't seem interested in 'art' per se. To me they are pretend technophobes, trying to sound informed and intelligent while chewing the end of their spectacles frame.
I for one have been fascinated by some of the work you have produced, carry on old chap. Ignore the naysayers.
