>>4272879even if AI image creation gets to the point of perfection, there will still be dozens of fields that the AI can't even compete in, let alone be good at. the easiest example of this would be the poor peoples all time favorite: portraits and weddings. AI can't recreate a bc party, wedding day, ceremony or literally anything that happened during those 2-6 days. same with portraiture. same with sports. same with all other event photography. same with docu and film. same with fashion, journalism, travel and so on and so forth... with these, you will need images shot by a photographer first but then, thats not AI image creation anymore, thats basically just using the AI program to edit your image to your liking, which is actually not bad, because it speeds up the hour long manual editing you would have to do per image and thats perfectly fine with me, because id rather spend 20 seconds having to type out a few commands and click a few buttons, than having to spend 40 minutes, sweating in capture one and photoshop over a single image out of a set of 15...
the only fields AI will replace photographers in (when it gets to that point) will be meaningless business money grab fields such as product, real estate, architecture, nature, street, abstract shit, landscape and so on and so forth... those fields never have anything specific and unique making the image and can be recreated using purely imagination.
AI is like a painter that paints only from his imagination and photographers are like a painter that uses both his eyes and imagination.
think of it as;
AI = Bob Ross
Photographers = Leonardo Da Vinci
