Rodeo

Here is a request to artists who do "Post Photography AI" and add the tag photography to the category: AI IS NOT PHOTOGRAPHY!

I have no problem with AI. I collect a lot of AI. But if it looks like a photo but was not taken with a camera (or phone), it is NOT photography.

Please classify your work accordingly to avoid confusion.
Add information in the description!

Post-production and editing are wonderful, and as long as it starts FROM a photo, it is photography.

If you manipulated a photo and added AI on editing, ok, it is a photo.

If you used a photo in your prompt and AI generated a NEW piece, it is AI, not photography. It is only inspired by your photo.

Sorry if I sound harsh but we are not going to be respected as artists if we don't set some good practices here.

AI Took a Photo!

This is why I use /aitookaphoto to cast those usually. What if I don't specify either way, like I just post it with a caption but don't say it's photography OR AI? Is that frowned upon?

yeah... specifically on Rodeo because we pick the category and I see a lot of AI work using Photography as category.
