As someone who works with AI, I gotta say this is spot on. At least when it comes to photography—the connection to the real world matters. AI-generated "photos" shouldn’t be compared to actual photography because they don’t carry that soul or the photographer’s unique vision. AI might be a game-changer for graphic designers or even animators, but not for photography.
But here’s the thing—real art lovers will never see a photographer’s meaningful work the same way as AI junk. And honestly, for a photographer, those genuine viewers matter way more than the rest. I mean, just like e-books never really killed paper books, AI won’t replace real photography either.
