>>4277718Only a fool would see this as a threat to art, which is inherently tied to opulence and luxury. Photography did not kill it. AI will not kill it. Because it's about opulence and luxury. Not content. Never has been. It's who knows who, made what, when, and if they're dead or not.
This is more of a threat to integrity in journalism and the only 3 companies to add integrity features to their cameras (sony, nikon, and leica) show NO signs of ever bringing those features to cameras under the $5k price point, strongly implying that AI spells truth's doom for anyone who is not a state authorized journalist reporting on current events. Think for a moment, if you are in the west, every piece of news coverage you saw on the gaza genocide was ran by, edited, censored, and added to by the israeli military. Why do you think they kept saying "hamas statistics" with a condemning tone, even though hamas is literally not a terrorist organization, but what's left of palestine's actual government, trying to resist israel invasion, and their reports have been reliable according to every UN member except the US and israel...
The only reason ANYONE can find discrepancies in all the propaganda is because some people in palestine, whats left of it after decades of illegal colonization, military oppression, and apartheid policies, have cameras.
Imagine 20 years from now. It won't matter. An aggressor will say "these photographs are AI generated/altered, please refer to REAL journalists for approved truth". The REAL journalists will have $10,000, "license holder only" cameras. No one else will be allowed to have them, and they definitely cant afford them.
THIS is a problem. A real problem. You no longer have rights. You no longer have a chance. Any government can do whatever the fuck they want and you are always lying while they are always telling the truth.
Art will be fucking fine. If anything, AI will make it more profitable and artists will charge people to watch them work.
