  • @thphoto2023

    Not gonna lie, Imagen is seriously overrated! True AI only needs just a few images to effectively style transfer, but Imagen needs you to building a profile of thousands and thousands (and thousands) of photos. You can make an amazing LoRA for flux using just 20 images, and it gets it right every time, BUT Imagen needs tens of thousands of photos? Sorry, but that’s not true AI

    I'm a photographer and I also make image with AI. AI generated pictures are art but they are NOT photographs in my opinion. The tools are different and so are the skills. Both can produce beautiful results but one is not the other.

    • @brendahall9577
      @brendahall9577 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@SteveGerrardPhotography I disagree and here's why. I challenge any artist to look at some AI generated pictures and say this wee bit of this picture here is from one of my paintings. I would be extremely surprised if any could do that. The pieces are so small and gathered from all over the net. It would be like someone complaining about a new piece of music because it has notes in it that have been used by someone else. There are very good painters out there who can copy art works completely and often fool lots of people into thinking their work is the original. If AI is doing that then it's the fault of the person putting in the prompt, not the tool they are using. I do wish however, that AI artists would stop making AI pictures of copyrighted images such as actors, cartoon characters etc. The more of that there is out there the more likely copyright laws will change to squash it and that could have really restrictive effects on all AI artists, even the ones who are trying to make genuinely original art pieces.

I still love getting a good shot, basically just cellphone shoots but some of the bands I shot back in the 80's have asked me to start up again...
