Looks like some sort of best-fit image matching going on behind the scenes somewhere in the process .... but that's just me being cynical!

In this age of digital image manipulation, it may that for critical work (such as criminal forensics) film, especially instant film, could make a come-back... While not fool-proof, it is less likely to be challenged for its veracity than any digital image.

I imagine that in the future, we will be able to convert books into movies with the press of a button. Still, AI models require around 2 billion images to train a model, so the need for real photos will be high. But for us humans, it will be hard to tell which is real and which is not.

Photo-AI seems to me to be one of those things that while there are certain good uses for it (as in editing software), there is too much wiggle room for it to be put to use in nefarious ways.

The question itself is short and simple, but there are 100 layers of complexity to get to an imprecise answer. Photography has always been a multi-stepped process, and each step can rocket off into a new direction in an instant once some new thing/process/material/concept comes to light. AI and all the bytes it spits out are mere mimicry in a regurgitated soup of colored pixels and are far removed from any of them. There's nothing 'photographic' about it in any conceivable way. Just as troubling, but on several different levels, is an absurd notion perpetrated by a company that should know better. Flickr is now accommodating a new category sitewide for 'virtual photography'... blog.flickr.net/en/2022/09/13/discover-virtual-photography-on-flickrThe worst of it, is when a familiar term for a human produced process is misappropriated to somehow legitimize the output into being as acceptable as the original. |
