YUK! The colors are outstanding here right now, but wind is getting stronger every day and the leaves are coming down fast. Someone said possible snow next week. TOO EARLY for that nonsense!Changing seasons we got about 6" of snow over night. It's winter
My, oh my....that looks so inviting. What is the water temperature this time of year there?Nothing better than a swim at dawn on a fine October morn.
Im not a fan of AI and chatbot if its going to be used it should be law to say its only generated information not factualIs the art of real photography going to die?
With AI all around us and getting more an more deceiving, is it going to be impossible to determine whether the photo was created with AI, or by a true photographer?
I've been into the art of photography since the late 70's. Roll film, my own darkroom with all of the "current" equipment to develop my photos, dodge/burn and mask and create effects. It took hours and hours to create something unusual, or get that perfect amount of contrast, exposure and other effects.
My first "serious" camera was a Pentax K1000. LOL I could only dream of owning a Hasselblad Medium format camera, or even Nikon at that time.
I resisted the digital cameras like a plague for years, until finally there was really no choice. Roll film was harder to get and the world got taken over with the digital cameras and programs that could do in one second what it took hours to do in a darkroom.
Now there's Artificial Intelligence. Personally, I think it's a very bad thing for us photographers. We are going to get pushed out, just like the digital age pushed us out of the creativity we used to enjoy and spend so much time on.
What's your thoughts?
I couldn't agree more. Yeah, they will probably make some laws, but how are they going to police it? Seems impossible to me. So sad....Same goes for using CGI for news clips , I saw some fake shit put out by the news during Russia/Ukraine conflict. Its so wrong
Don't get me started.What's your thoughts?
I don't know. I'd call it "fresh". Unless we're snowed in, we swim every day of the year, so acclimatizing now for the winter months. February is officially categorized as "Effin Cold" - but the real killer is if there's a cold wind when you get out.What is the water temperature this time of year there?
Significant other saying they might be home lateA relative called me way too early this morning, and I admit this is the first thing I said.....
Been observing silently for a bit. Love your photos, Cannafan.
I can appreciate the usefulness of AI, they're definitely helpful in some situations.
When they can do something in microseconds that would otherwise take me ages, it's pretty damn impressive tbh.
I feel its better used as a tool to compliment creativity, or help us and hopefully it's not a substitute for real people.
In the case of art & photography, perhaps it could be used for inspiration. Midjourney is neat.
Most of the content it generates is flawed in some way or another or brings up questions of copyright infringement.
Of course it'll change a lot of industries and when AI is used for nefarious purposes it can be scary or dangerous.
I heard we're trying to pass laws here in Canada to require AI content to be labeled as such so there's less trickery,
but that'll mostly effect the commercial industry and not those using it for attacks and impersonations.
