Photographer treats photos of a model as a dataset so #AI can generate new photos without the model or the photographer. We're going through quantum leap in the plausibility of science fiction. https://petapixel.com/2022/12/21/photos-used-to-generate-ai-images-for-client-so-photographer-never-shoots-again/
Photos Used to Generate AI Images for Client So Photographer Never Shoots Again

He can create new images without leaving the office.

@dweinberger Fascinating. Thanks for sharing. It's perhaps a natural evolution of where things have been going with, for instance, dead actors being recreated in movies via CG.

It's not surprising... but wow will this open up a vast array of legal and financial issues.

As well as further eroding any sense of whether we can trust how "real" images may be.

@danyork Agreed, but how real are photos of models that are lit, posed, framed & adjusted by photographers? How much do you trust that you'd recognize one you met without all that? Yes, there's a difference when it's AI, but mainly b/c of the legal issues you mention.
