I took some photos I made of a running Jane and fed them into an AI to combine elements and produce this image.
I used my cell phone on the end of a selfie stick with a toy tied onto the end as a lure to get her to chase the rig.
I'm learning AI can be used like Photoshop to blend things you have made, not just to create bizarre alien landscapes.
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.

It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.

A friend sent me an interesting link to a John Oliver segment on Artificial Intelligence and how it is taking over many facets of our lives very quickly. Of course, we could use this for good things like early diagnosis of diseases but most likely we'll use it in ways that discriminate against people and uphold our classist, racist system. It's a lot to be worried about in my opinion.
In addition, it really got me thinking about artificial intelligence like Chat GPT now writing everything from college papers to condolence letters after a mass shooting and mimicking songs, poems, and even photographs. It really got me thinking about what can't or doesn't an AI currently do and so this is what I came up with. This is also from the Snooper set on Saturday at Music Frozen Dancing (The green guy behind the moshers was with this band).
I also think it's pretty counter-intuitive for humans to deliberately put themselves in harm's way just to feel alive (my guess). I have never related to it at all, mainly because I don't enjoy physical pain and bleeding on random strangers or having escalated medical bills or broken camera equipment. But, I do kind of feel like it's a very anti-AI sort of thing to do. AIs probably won't ever be programmed to participate in their own self destruction...what would be the point? And...what exactly is the point again with humans doing this?
Anyway, if you want to watch the John Oliver segment, it's up on youtube:
