Clover has been learning to drive...Though I was abit nervous when she drove into the hardware store's parking lot!!..she's not real keen on the brakes yet. But you will notice the intense focused look on her face. She knows exactly what she is doing.
In the early years of the 21st century artificial intelligence spread from silicon to wood. One of the first set of newly intelligent wooden beings was Karl and Karla Blockbody. They were the main influence that persuaded meat people to accept wooden people. Peace!
Photography for me is much more than a means to an end. Every step I take in pursuit of images such as this helps form the mosaic that is my life. It's quite often thrilling to discover places and situations that result in memorable photos. But the underlying memories are equally vital. I often equate the scenes I encounter to creations on a Hollywood movie set. Yet they are very real, and I am standing in them, immersed in the atmosphere of wherever I finds myself.
All of that said, lately I'm having reluctance accepting artificial intelligence (AI) imagery into the same genre as actual photos of actual places. More than once I've clicked on a flickr thumbnail of an incredible scene wondering how on earth someone managed to capture it. I invariably feel disappointment when I discover it was purely a computerized creation. It's one thing to enhance a picture in Photoshop, but quite another to invent it out of while cloth. Feels like cheating at some level, particularly if the photo is passed off as organic. I'm okay seeing AI images, I just prefer to know when I am and am not. Unfortunately the line will become ever more blurry as the tools to generate it become increasingly available.
AI definitely has its place, and like it or not, it's here to stay. In fact it's permeating our society at all levels on a daily basis. It's being used for both healing and good, and dark and evil. And everything in between. I recently got involved with AI-generated images for a book project. Looking into copyright issues, I was surprised to discover that AI images are not eligible for copyright protection because they lack a human creator. Apparently intellectual property still requires an actual intellect. Who knew. When I inquired about how these particular images were acquired (because several depicted real-life celebrities, I was informed that the AI program renders original art based on internet searches of copyrighted photos. So sooner or later, my photos (and yours) will become source material for AI creations.

[...] "Information stellt zwar immer Verbindungen her, doch einige Arten von Information – von wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen bis zu politischen Reden – können versuchen, diese Verbindung durch eine korrekte Darstellung von bestimmten Aspekten der Wirklichkeit zu knüpfen. Das verlangt allerdings einen besonderen Einsatz, den Information selbst nicht leistet. Deshalb irrt das naive Informationsverständnis, wenn es annimmt, dass leistungsfähigere Informationstechnologie automatisch zu einem wahrhaftigeren Verständnis der Welt führt. Wenn keine weiteren Maßnahmen ergriffen werden, um das Gleichgewicht zugunsten der Wahrheit zu verschieben, dann sorgt eine Zunahme und Beschleunigung der Information nur dafür, dass die relativ seltenen und kostspieligen wahrhaftigen Darstellungen unter der anschwellenden Flut minderwertiger Information verschwinden."

[...] "While information always creates connections, some types of information—from scientific publications to political speeches—can attempt to establish this connection through an accurate representation of certain aspects of reality. However, this requires a special effort that information itself does not make. Therefore, the naive understanding of information is mistaken when it assumes that more powerful information technology automatically leads to a more truthful understanding of the world. If no additional measures are taken to shift the balance in favor of truth, an increase and acceleration of information will only ensure that the relatively rare and costly truthful representations disappear under the swelling flood of inferior information."

(Harari, "Nexus")
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:
Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave
Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;
Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!
"Well, Artie, what kind of a picture are you going to show the people today?"
I believe we are fooling ourselves when we claim that AI graphic software is "intelligent." Read more on this topic:

The flowers have a facial expression, such as men or animals. Some seem to smile; others have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others are simple, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.

what to say ...😄

Can AI "photos" coexist with the "traditional" imagery???
Do you feel "betrayed" when (if) you found out a photo was an Artificial "photo"... are we getting used to being "lied" too?
Things are likely to become yet more complex as use of artificial intelligence by artists becomes more widespread, and as the machines get better at producing creative works, further blurring the distinction between artwork that is made by a human and that made by a computer.

I made this a few years ago (2016 I think.) A couple days ago when I was looking for something SciFi I found it again. A bit of manip in Photoshop yesterday and this is what came out...
