My only complaint about this image is that AI hasn’t shown any ability to replace jobs. All of the AI companies are burning money on models that peaked a while ago and are still ass for any skilled labor, it’s a dead end.
I’m sorry, when has this “any ability” you speak of been a marker for any excuse to cut costs by corporations? capitalist demons like musk have yet to show “any ability” themselves; seems to be working out fine for them.
I hate musk, he deserves a special place in hell, but he was an absolute wizard at replacing human labor. His car factories ran so fast that his engineers had to account for aerodynamics while still on the production line.
I know several companies which have stopped paying for stock photos and using AI laundered images or using AI to remove watermarks without any skills in image editing softwares.
Is it replacing jobs? I don’t know the economics of this field well enough to know what cut the photographer gets, but I know that there’s less cash flowing into this sector due to genAI
This. And all that “convenience” makes the world uglier and less human. Where we used to take a taxi on holiday and have a chat with the driver about his life and his family, and get a few tips on where to eat where the locals eat, we can now get robotaxied somewhere without any human interaction at all.
And we get doctored made up images of destinations that don’t exist, by people that look like manga versions of themselves.
We truly live in the cheapest version of the world nowadays.

that’s not a good thing
It could be if we taxed and fined him into the dirt.

You can tell when a stock photo is ai, it looks creepy and weird and people hate it. They didn’t replace workers, they downgraded their product.
We know that, but it’s a slow creep of sludge and most decision makers see the cost go down and rejoice

I was shocked to see in a bookstore how many kids books had images made by gpt-1
