Just more addiction to the newest electronic toys in lieu of the real deal, creatively. Other than a light meter, if it needs a battery, I don't need it, when it comes to capture. And I do mean capture, not concoction. Ai is already on its inevitable path in medicine, manufacturing, and warfare - some of which are patently destructive. Why add one more thing to the latter category of application? But the original question was, what is going to become of photography? - nothing different, since Ai doesn't represent photography at all, but something else entirely. Call it whatever you want - Fakeography, Lardassography, Alternative Idiocy, whatever - but it's not photography.

That's why literacy was invented.

Bah? Everyone knows sheep can't read. Or is Bah some kind of French word spoken in that part of Canada? - a French breed of sheep maybe?

It's funny because your nearly 18,000 posts would make excellent fodder for a large language AI model to imitate your banal posts. A picture is worth 10,000 words, so perhaps let's see some more photos and less words.

Fodder? How do you know that’s not AI generated?

in the XFILES, this is when the space lasers zapped the RV you have connected to the NODE...
but that's OK you just end up in another place, in another RV attached to another NODE
just before the credits roll ..
