AI's tendrils reach deeper into human creativity
fantastic review of what is otherwise a really interesting camera - basically an extension of your phone using a serious sensor and lens
but at least as interesting to me as a creator and educator is her exploration of the dangers of "AI" intruding deeper into creative spaces:
I can see the utility of the automated editing tools she describes for cleaning up actual human-created images much faster than using something like Photoshop, but the danger is the built-in LLM prompt engine
is it really "photography" if you fake an image before, during, or after through prompting the plagiarism machine?
she offers a great philosophical discussion about this growing issue, and makes an overt declaration that she will never "create" photos using AI - unexpected from what could have been a simple review video. bravo!
if you've been reading my blog, I'm sure you already know my stance on botshit generators, but if you'd like to learn more (and see a discussion in terms of teaching creative writing workshops, with several links to more info), check out the essay I wrote for the Ad Astra SF Institute: X (or, of course, hit one of the relevant tags on this post)
