However, while the quality of images has gone up, the value of photography has gone down, because the cost to take a good image has been radically reduced.
Ah, I remember this was a hot debate during the transition from film to digital photography, especially when DSLRs finally eclipsed 35mm film in resolution sometime around 2015, which was when I made the video below haha. (Ignore the youthful looks and exuberance - I'm old and wrinkly now 😂)
I think AI has it's place as a tool. I see AI (like ChatGPT for instance) the same way as I see a Google search box (which has been AI this whole time by the way), and I treat it as such. I use it to create outlines, quick comparisons between two products, summarise articles so I don't have to read 10 pages, e.t.c. It also makes errors at the moment, but I'm sure that will improve over time.
By the way, I suspect AI played a little role in these photos of your little one? There's an AI'esque feel to it. 😂 - I can't remember if you mentioned it in the article and I missed it. I have the mind of a goldfish now haha.
