This is part of a band I recently photographed. The room’s lighting was quite decent and so I was able to take advantage of it to what I feel was great effect, such as in the photo below.
This is my submission into the three hundred-and-second Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Artificial Intelligence and Photography“.
I don’t want to apply AI to my images, and I’m probably not going to start any time soon. Doing so doesn’t interest me. That said, my partner helped me with this one by removing an object that was quite distracting and harmed the image overall. It was done manually, and that’s roughly as close to AI as I hope to get.
The use of AI, or forms of automation that are seen as AI is going to increase over time as, ultimately, a large swathe of people are likely indifferent to the issues if they perceive a convenience from its use, or find its increasing appearance a mundane presence.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
John is curating this one. Next week Donna is curating.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.

The removal of extraneous items in a photo is something that AI can do well at times, but I’ve seen failures as well. When that happens, I usually find the process of cloning useful, but much more time consuming.

Wild and crazy SH!! You are not alone in avoiding AI altogether altho it will be harder and harder as time goes on I suspect.

You most definitely have company regarding the way you feel about AI. The image you shared is intriguing. I especially like your monochrome edit.

Interesting photo. A.I. doesn’t interest me either.

Most of us seem to feel like you do, but it is nice to have the conversation about it. Honestly…I feel comforted that so many just love photography and draw the line on “cartoons”

Your photo is exactly what AI can’t produce. Too much to expression so, all the better in my books.
