geogphotos Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 From the lack of replies I assume that we need some help knowing what we should be alarmed about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By scanning your images with metadata a software will learn what an Eiffel Tower looks like and will be able to create a new image that can be licensed or used commercially. Soon anyone at home will be able to create just about any image with an AI photo generator. Your photos won't be needed anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 From reading the text in the link I think I can see what AOP and Eyesite are concerned about. For now awaiting developments. ( excuse the pun). Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarloBo Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Nothing to be concerned about, you can't stop technology advance and advantages. Can't wait for the day AI will drive my car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Harrison Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) I know very little about this but came across this tweet showing a 'before and after' AI interpretation of a flower photo. https://twitter.com/JevonCarey/status/1566301785580511232 The transformation from what is a very unremarkable photograph is quite extraordinary. I know of and admire photographers that achieve a similar look using multiple exposures and photoshop montages but then those elements have been difficult to capture and require a significant amount of pre-visualisation. His whole account is worth a look. I believe he is using the software Midjourney which is at the free 'beta' stage.

Of course it now raises the seed of a doubt that they haven't been doing all that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriana Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I am a bit shocked to see that artists and photographers are not reacting fast enough to the quick growing amount of people creating AI generated images and submitting them to stock agencies including Alamy. I think many agencies have been caught off guard and honestly, there are thousands of people in the AI groups I am in already making very quick money without knowledge or regards to all the copyright implications these images could have. Every day I see more and more photorealistic images of places and people. You can barely notice the difference between an actual photo and an AI image. So I think we should be having this conversation now. Many of the images from Midjourney have come out with watermarks from various stock agencies. It's all crazy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Bell Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I think if anyone can do anything the AOP can. It should produce or start a petition to which we could all append our signatures. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered how they know which images currently on sale have been AI generated, does this have to be declared there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
