Stock photography will become mostly AI. Photographers will have to find other income streams. Already it's difficult enough to tell what's real. AI is being used by students to cheat in essays. Human nature being what it is, it will be used in the worst ways by creating false narratives and criminality. Putin and the CCP are already using it. Next will be music. Why pay any artist, when you can generate AI versions? For every utopian upside, there is potential for a much darker dystopia.

I have used AI tools like pixbim object remover ai for restoration and pixbim animate photos ai for animation and I am pretty impressed with AI capabilities. Nice video 🙂.

I was sent several hundred photos to scan and clean up and ended up producing 3 CDs of photos that were sold at the Lanza Museum in Philadelphia to raise money for voice scholarships. I hadn’t learned Photoshop yet and was using Corel’s software. I wish I had Photoshop’s and AI’s capabilities back then.

Thank you for this. You asked for comments about this being threating. Well, lets cast our minds back to the advent of digital. Just like all emerging technologies you have the Nay Sayers. When Steven Sasson in 1975 produced the first digital camera at Kodak, there was a massive internal fight, those who maintained it was a waste of time, money, and resources and those that had the vison of the future. Well Kodak went bust due their short-sighed action in canning it. So anyone who feels that AI is threatening will be on the wrong side of history. If they are using the current iterations of LrC and PS are already using elements of AI. I started my photographic interest at 10 yrs old working with my Uncle a well-known London photographer. That was 70 years ago (I will be 80 yrs young this coming month) and this old dog loves learning new tricks. So, any commercial photography who does not embrace these new technologies will go the way of Kodak. Thank you again for introducing the is to us and I have already signed up for an account with DALL-E. 👍👍👍

I have been using Topaz Sharpen basically since it came out then added Denoise and later Gigapixal (which, at times can add even more Clarity). Their new Photo AI can do some stunning things that the others don't do as well! I'd like to point out that their programs DON'T ALWAYS ACTUALLY MAKE A PHOTO BETTER LOOKING! That's by no means a cut but if you have a pretty decent shot to begin with then it may - and that's MAY - make it worse. Many of my older shots, like yours in this video, are a perfect example of an old, non-sharp, noisy renderings that Topaz can transform beyond belief!!!! I have 30 year old, low rez VHS video of long past friends that I recently popped a frame from into Photo AI and it did an AMAZING job of restoration - stunning actually. I'm going to have to try Dall-e now! YES, I'M A HUGE FAN OF AI and want to try Topaz Video Enhance AI for a bunch of corrections there.

Impressive video. Thank you for providing some insight into this new frontier. I’ve seen some examples of AI output but never thought to “fix” existing images with it. Another door is open. I can’t wait to play with this new technology. Yes, it can be scary for some as it will definitely allow anyone to generate or manipulate images in positive and negative ways, and may impact revenue generation at some levels for professional creatives. However, like any tool it can only go so far on it’s own. Creatives just have to adapt like we’ve been doing for decades now as technology allows more people to generate content without us. In some ways it will also allow creatives to be more creative and go beyond existing limitations or restrictions. Great stuff. I’d much rather ride the wave than be drown by it.
