Me: what I like about photography is that it takes me away from a keyboard and work.
Also me: Carefully tags 400 photos with a hierarchy of tags (in #darktable) so that they can be culled by comparing to others with the same subject, not just chronologically.

Just saw a job ad for a postdoc in "Values-Centered AI." Values-centered? That framing is so ignorant.
All modeling and prediction are driven by values. The disagreements are about *which* values to center and how to center them, and therein lies the ethical content. Somehow this basic point is lost on lots of folks who claim to be interested in #AIEthics.
I've long been impressed by Google's computational photography (as in the camera app on Pixel phones and the GCam port to other phones).
Especially awesome is their system for zero-shutter-lag HDR+ photos, which creates a smart composite from stills captured up to the instant of shutter button press.
I think the compositing algorithm is ML, but I think it adds no outside content, i.e., no generative AI.
Let's keep this line between computational photography and generative AI really sharp!
