I’m a huge messenger on this (and have been for like 3 years now) because I really really really want people to understand what is coming. It’s a tectonic shift in how we relate to everything. The shift from analog to digital was tectonic. A.I. will be on AT LEAST the same level.
Let’s just take photography: A.I. will make it possible for a person to shoot 5000 frames, plug them into a program and using learned data that it’s going to use…you will be able to set parameters and get the x photograph processed in y way with z lighting conditions (in case the light wasn’t just right). This isn’t even touching on completely generative programs that will allow you to generate imagery with any conditions with absolute reality. Tornado in Yosemite Valley but in the style of Ansel Adams? Done.
Or weather. A.I. is going to ruin the challenge of storm chasing I think. Mainly because A.I. is going to solve unsolvable problems for us right now.
You are the person in the 1950s being told about iPhones, the internet, and cloud computing. Except this is coming in 5-10 years. Buckle up. #ai #photography
