AI is killing it...

Go to last post
AI is being used to replace jobs….

ever since AI has become a part of my job, workload has increased. Why? Given more opportunities man will always find more ways to do things not done before.

No surprise there folks...when I look at international photogrphy websites there is a

revolting feeling of being left out, they said the jet engine will replace the prop, yet

yesterday I looked at travel videos of Scandinavia and Russia, very beautiful but there

is this bad taste and vision, that a lot of this is just BS...I see this all over the internet

such as Fstoppers that once were one of the best photogrphy presentation sites,

yet many of their photographs from so called famous photographers are nothing

but basic average AI hyped pics...IMO, there needs to be a software system

that can detect fraud...

Cheers and all the best...

What I think we need are SD or CF cards that become read-only after the first time data is written to them. This way, the RAW files created would be true originals — providing both proof of authenticity and clear ownership of the photographs.

Perhaps you meant that the file becomes read only. If the card became read only, you would only get one file per card.

Well, that’s really interesting. Would you mind explain a bit?

Sure: we use AI to predict protein 3D structures, directly from dna sequences (AI models are also needed to get these from real measurements )

This was not possible about 5 years ago without AI. With these 3D structures we can predict if other structures are related and thus may share common ancestors. This prediction may give insight in evolutionary processes, which results in more lab work.

The lab work leads to more questions and thus even more work.

ergo: AI enabled us to ask new questions (that cannot be answered by current “AI” tools (mind the quotes)

Thanks. I can understand that.

I was mistaken about your previous post, in which you mentioned your workload has increased. It’s good that AI helps, it’s not so good if personally, YOU have to work more than before.

Years ago I took a course in contemporary Russian history. One of the things I remember is the before and after group photos that included officials who had displeased comrade Stalin. The Russian leader would have those officials eliminated and photos reprocessed in the darkroom to exclude them. Some of the darkroom work was pretty good for the time. All this to say that doctoring photos is probably as old as photography and AI just makes the process easier.

True. But in some cases, the work was very clumsy. On some images, it was obvious that a person had been erased. Soviet officials didn’t seem to bother.

Well, “work” in my business means true curiosity, which is never a workload. In fact, I sometimes have to monitor my curiosity/life balance to stay “healthy”.

photography is a way to do that. Your mind completely occupied by something else than “work”

These are being used for things where ai alteration are a big deal such as fraud and deep fake video, they really aren't part of detecting some photographer from Boise photograph of a sheep on a mountain presented to fellow amateurs on something like Fstoppers. At some point it will probably be up to places like Fstoppers to decide if they want to enforce rules about ai enhanced photographs or not, but there will need to be time and a catalyst to create that desire and need.

The public really doesn't care about 'fake' photographs for personal viewing. Consider the 'fake' photography in Instagram's most popular time, a whole generation of high-saturation, crazy candy colored HDR became widespread everywhere and has still affected photography today. The public embraced it, ooh and ahh'd and 'liked' it, they are doing the same with ai images already.

I think we are going to see a backlash on AI 'anything'..... just a matter of time. In theory, things progress ahead nicely and in theory, AI should just take off, just because. But what we forget to add into the equation is 'humanity'... Humans want humans.

Yes, of course, The card would fill with files and the ability to remove or rewrite the sectors of the card, again, is taken away.

That way we would get files on cards that have similar capabilities like film to document its originality.

I do not believe that there is a solution based on the file itself but on the card that carries it from the very beginning.

This would be not just nice for reporters. Any job where documentation is needed favours from it - like police work, scientists etc.

And maybe also private people may like to have their photos with an untouchable proof of their ownership - as long as they have the card.

So you really have no evidence. Ok,

If you need a spreadsheet to notice society unraveling, you might be too far gone to read it anyway.

The fact you need evidence is the evidence.
