Not much going on outside, so I decided to play with AI. I asked ChatGPT to create an air-to-air perspective based on one of my original photos featuring the Royal Air Force Red Arrows. What do you think?
Here is something you wonāt see from me again.
I generated this image using one of the free AI generating programs online. It was not a test, as I have no intentions of using AI technology to create images. I simply wanted to create it to illustrate a point that is clearly conveyed with the banned symbol I have plastered over this AI generated image. The fact is that elements of this image have been stolen from legitimate photographs available online. The whole process by which AI was trained to create these images was legalised theft! Itās in the fine print of most photo platforms. They have the right to use our images to train AI to undercut the very basis of photography itself. Virtual Photography, Flickr calls it. They should be ashamed of themselves. There is NOTHING photographic about these images at all. And nothing humanly creative.
But just when we think it canāt get worse for real photographers*** along comes the first AI Camera that links to your smartphone. Itās quite amazing to watch these three recently published āreviewsā on YouTube, but when you read some of the comments from actual photographers there is a growing sense of horror at what is unfolding, and the meek resistance to it.
It looks like this will also be the first camera that comes with a monthly subscription. This is typical of most new technology these days (remember when Adobe went full subscription model? Now almost everyone does it.). Owning things outright will soon become a thing of the past. Soon all EVs will come with an annual subscription. Remember that saying from Dr Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, āYou will own nothing, but you will be happy.ā This is not communism, this is corporate theft ā a way to fleece people of all their income. No thank you. I resist! Call me what you will. I don't care.
So here are the reviews of this diabolical "camera".

By the way Tony & Chelsea Northrup used to be a serious photography channel. Now Tony is just a paid shill for the next tech thing.
Some notable comments:
āGreat I can have photos of moments that didn't happen. Cool. ā @JimmySaul888
āHelp destroy photography as a legitimate art! Buy this camera!ā @odinata
āTony... āpull upā. What happened to you man. The instant process you mention being old and slow is exactly how we learned the āARTā of photography. Connecting to AI is not the core of photography. Do you really hear yourself? The experience of getting to the location, planning the shots on site and making good imagery is a skill and art. I don't really know how people learn the art by asking AI to do it.ā

āIn what way does this camera beat Canon, Nikon, or Sony?ā @capnjrock2952
To which I added the comment:
āNothing beats my Rolleiflex. Nothing!ā
The AI camera of your dreams. And nightmares.

āI saw a post from Mastodon today of an art teacher describing something happening in their classroom: they can't show middle schoolers any art that they will believe a human made. They, by default, suspect it is all AI. Of course, that also means that none of them imagine that they could create something wonderful. I thought of this throughout your videoānot only is it not your memory ... but is it also just teaching people that their own life isn't beautiful and that they can't create anything beautiful? Horrifying thought.ā

āThis is no future I want any part of. Now I understand why Iāve been shooting so much Polaroid photography lately. Simpler and so much more rewarding when you get it right.ā @WhoIsSerafin
*** The effects of AI on photographers are small scale compared to the jobs apocalypse it will generate. Some AI experts (including the founder of AI technology, Geoffrey Hinton) have suggested that by 2030 up to 50% of all jobs will be lost to the machines. God knows how ordinary people will live as the billionaires turn into trillionaires. Perhaps a global revolution? In this social context rewatch the sci-fi movie āLoganās Runā (1976).

Coincidentally this article was published by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation today:

In each of these collages, the image in the upper left is my original. Some of these are mirrors, kaleidoscopes and spirals, so theyāre a little strange to begin with. Others are āstraightā photos. All the other images were all produced by Creative Fabricaās AI software.

I saw some Song Sparrows recently in my area (Lachine, Quebec) nesting and looking for food for their young. They are a little smaller than the House Sparrow, and very cute.
