I think that AI image generation is similar in many ways to photography. The camera itself handles all the fine details, but the photographer is in charge of curating the types of images that will be created.
Ultimately, it is all about maximizing the probability that something good will be created.
This is very similar to AI image generation, in terms of the skills involved and what the human does vs. what the machine does.
You can't compare AI image generation to the process of actually making these images from scratch with 3D software or paint/pencils, where the human controls every detail.
However, I think the process really is very similar to that of photography, as I made the case for above. I think that DALL-E 3 is by far the most powerful AI image generation tool currently available.

The term "collective memory" denotes the aggregate of memories and knowledge, that a social group holds, which is intrinsically linked to the group's identity. Maurice Halbwachs, a philosopher and sociologist, developed this concept in his 1925 work, «Les cadres sociaux de la mémoire». Various social collectives can create, disseminate, and inherit collective memory.
Contrary to the term "collective memory, the notion of "collective memories" is inherently problematic. Memories are the results of the individual acts of recollection, making the idea of "collective memories" paradoxical. Diffusion models, utilizing vast amounts of data, including historical and personal old photographs, may be seen as involved in the prompts-driven singular acts of remembrance, producing images that paradoxically represent "collective memories," something otherwise unfeasible and ultimately, non-existent.

A photo of the Pine Isles Lodge (Department 56), with covered bridge, and eagle in flight (Lemax) from our Christmas Village. The image is enhanced with Photoshop generative AI.
A contemporary homage inspired by La Maja Desnuda by Francisco de Goya.
The composition recreates the famous reclining pose from Goya’s celebrated painting: the relaxed figure resting on cushions, the direct gaze toward the viewer, and the warm, intimate atmosphere of the original work. Instead of classical nudity, the model is portrayed wearing a subtly striped bikini, creating a playful bridge between late-18th-century academic painting and modern visual culture.
This image was created with the assistance of generative AI using a custom prompt designed to reproduce the pose, lighting, and painterly atmosphere of Goya’s composition while presenting it in a contemporary reinterpretation.

A futuristic android stands before a brick wall, spray can in hand, creating a bold portrait of a singer with a vintage microphone. The image deliberately mixes two worlds: the unmistakably human traditions of music, portraiture and street art with the rapidly developing world of artificial intelligence and robotics.
The title, “The Outrage – When a Robot Paints a Legend,” is deliberately provocative. AI-generated art has created considerable debate about creativity, originality and the future role of human artists. Is a machine capable of creating art, or is it simply executing the ideas and instructions of the person behind it?
Perhaps the android isn't replacing the artist at all. It might simply represent another tool — rather like the camera, computer and digital darkroom were once new tools themselves.
For me, this was an experiment in combining photography, street-art imagery and AI image generation to create something that couldn't have existed in the original photograph.
The interesting question isn't simply “Is this art?” — but where does the human artist end and the machine begin?

Non-lieu ("non-place" or "nonplace" in English) is a concept, introduced by French anthropologist Marc Augé. It describes transient spaces where people maintain anonymity and which lack the cultural or historical significance to be considered true "places" in anthropological terms. Augé contrasts this concept with "anthropological places," which are spaces that reinforce identity and facilitate meaningful social interactions among individuals with shared cultural references. Non-places, however, do not serve as meeting points or foster a sense of community. In essence, a non-place is an area we pass through rather than inhabit, where individuals remain detached, unnamed, and lonely.
In my opinion, this image (and this batch of images), would be essentially impossible to create without AI, due to the cost of staging this as a real photo.
An image like this could really only exist as a still frame from a big budget motion picture.
My main goal with AI has been to create images that would be effectively impossible (often due to extreme costs) to create without it.
This allows for the creation of new types of images - and I think this is AI image generation at its best.

I used a prompt available on the main Leonardo AI splash page for this:
"A serene and intimate narrow trail winds its way through a lush and vibrant bamboo grove, where delicate, dew-kissed green leaves glisten with intricate droplets of water, surrounded by thick, ethereal mist that softly veils the background, evoking a tranquil and secluded Zen garden atmosphere, with each bamboo stalk, leaf, and stone meticulously rendered in stunning 8K photorealistic detail, bathed in soft, warm, and muted natural light, with subtle hints of moss and ferns peeking through the undergrowth, inviting the viewer to step into this peaceful sanctuary."

I really like this one. I think this is an example of a good use of AI. Without AI, this image could probably only exist in the form of an illustration. AI allows for this image to exist with the realism level of a real photo.

I find the realism of the people in this image to be a bit eerie. I think it is something about how they are looking into the camera from not that far away.

The Vibrant Soul of Costa Rica: A Hyper-Realistic Wildlife Expedition
This curated collection offers a breathtaking journey through the lush ecosystems of Costa Rica, capturing the raw beauty and intricate details of its most iconic inhabitants. From the majestic, iridescent feathers of the Resplendent Quetzal and the intense gaze of a Jaguar prowling through water, to the slow-motion grace of a moss-covered Sloth and the vivid brilliance of the Blue Morpho butterfly, each piece is a study in texture, light, and biological wonder.
The series explores the intersection of technology and natural history, presenting a vision of Central American biodiversity with stunning clarity. Every subject—whether it be the defensive posture of an Eyelash Viper among yellow blooms or the vocal power of a Howler Monkey—is rendered with a focus on cinematic storytelling and environmental authenticity, celebrating the diverse fauna that defines the "Pura Vida" spirit.
These images were generated by Artificial Intelligence.
