A.I. generated photography or videos… Ad agencies ultimate dream. Then they can fire just about everyone but the exec`s.
the Box is open…
This is admittedly incredibly ignorant, but doesn't a machine take a picture? Doesn't a human make the machine go? I understand A LOT more goes into photography, but in the end did we have the same arguments when photography first started being considered art?
Even his voice sounds AI generated
Does anyone feel like Naomi Watts was used as a source for the younger woman in the photo?
The judges didn't know
That is a potriat of AI its self not a lady of an other generation. 😅
I would like to pose another question in relation to this. Should other artists (eg. painters) that have created iconic paintings be disqualified from said status or be put in different category because they drew from previous works of art?
Picasso, Monet, van Gogh et al all drew inspiration from prior artworks. How is this process different from a mathematical model?
Depends… is the award for the result or the process? To me, a photo is a photo. Why does it matter how it was created?
The implications is not just in competitions. It is in propaganda as well. Imagine recreating these images about historical figures or events. AI will distort our reality even further
He should be charged with fraud claiming it was his photo
Who were the contest judges? It is time to new categories (but a.i. is not photography at all)
Exactly! A.I art is NOT photography!
Why not put the AI to do more useful things, like help solve the pollution problem (landfills ,etc.), and other major issues that could help advance society. Instead they would rather use it to replace people and do other nonsense.
He's right. AI is not photography. It's cool to make another category.
Just wait till ChatGPT wins a Pulitzer Prize
There need to be an Ai class for artists now. Obviously Ai art is different then normal style, therefore different class to judge it in.
No different then light and heavy, advanced/-/pro classes etc…Break it up and all will be fine. Just like the transgender thing. light and heavy weight classes, no more one size fits all. were beyond that now.
AI art should be in it's own category
ai sucks
It is not Photography, but it is art. Good on him for the protest.
Can you really say AI isn't art when it wins art competitions left and right?
I heard some AI music and it was horrible…
This is a PHOTOGRAPY award not a computer creation award!
Does this guy actually have a suggestion of how to be able to distinguish between AI images and a genuine photograph? If not he’s kinda saying a whole lot of nothing.
Art is Art. Doesn’t matter who makes it. The universe is one of the most beautiful things we can ever witness as humans. Something created or standing that hasn’t been created by humans. AI art is just as valid. Just a different type of art that can be just as admired. That’s all. Humans creating beautiful pieces of art is still an incredible thing. There’s value in that and isn’t devalued by AI creating similar art.
People need to get used to this because it isn’t gonna go away. Especially since our tech is becoming more and more advanced.
AI has more soul than any so-called "conservative" American alive today. Be scared and mad if you must. 😇
