We're just teaching the machines all our vulnerabilities.

I fully expect in the coming AI war I'll be confronted by a robot which tells me David Attenborough actually has a desk made from a Blue Whale with an ashtray made out of a Gorilla's hand on top :(

It's definitely going to impact some professionals but we're some way off AI doing wedding photography.

Some would say Photoshop ruined photography as a hobby. :lol:

Oh noes, my career is at an end.

I've never really seen influencers and catalogue models as real anyway, not since photoshop. Even before then photos were relatively easily modified.

Taken with a 3 second short with just the two candles to illuminate the scene. Turned out rather nicely. Lovely place to pray in the early morning.
