For this challenge JohnBo has asked us to “share your thoughts and images on a controversial subject – the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in your photographs.”
My photo editing software doesn’t include AI so I wasn’t sure how I was going to respond to this challenge. I got the idea to try using the AI Assistant available in WordPress after reading Donna’s post at Wind Kisses.
All of the images in this post were created using the WordPress AI Assistant. The first images are based on special days in May – Henry’s birthday, Mother’s Day, a road trip to Virginia to celebrate our oldest Granddaughter’s high school graduation, and Memorial Day. I captioned each photo with the prompt I gave AI.
The header image was automatically created based on the content of this post.
I experimented with a lot of different prompts before finding images that I liked. I wouldn’t call them photographs. This egret image was the most realistic one.
For several of the images I had to try several prompts before I got an image that worked. The following are two images that made me laugh out loud. The captions show the prompt I gave AI.
I am seeing AI images more and more as I browse the internet. My hope is that actual photographers will never be replaced by Artificial Intelligence and that anyone posting AI images will let their readers know how the image was created.
I had fun playing with AI but I think I’ll stick with my own photographs from now on.
Many thanks to our host Johnbo for his challenge Lens-Artists #302 – Artificial Intelligence and Photography
