How do you define a photo?
This photo, and further post is a question, it is a challenge, it is a wondering. With AI becoming more and more mainstream and integrated into our lives, how do you define what a photo is. If photos are the raw image taken from a camera what about what is posted on instagram, they go through a great amount of editing before being posted, “edit out my acne, crop that out, put a filter on, make my hair look better” but they are still photos, if I can take an image of my dog, but dont like the people around it, and use AI to remove them, is that still a photo, better yet, how much AI can be used until the photo is no longer yours? Or is the photo yours because of the AI you are using on it. Who owns this image above. All I put into the generator was hard edge cell shading speedpainting concept :: a blue-eyed red-haired skald in northern clothing sings on the deck of a drakkar, ergonomic mic. cinematic photography, 8k, photorealistic, 50mm lens, real pictures –ar 3:2.
Do i own this photo? Is it a photo? I generated a photo, just not with a camera. These are all questions I have for the future as the world becomes more and more AI driven.
