I don't understand why you are so skeptical. In an interview with him, he said he "wanted to come clean", and admits the vast majority of his followers had no idea he was using AI. The quote above is also present in this interview piece [1]:
"Up until very recently, when asked, Avery was either vague about how he created the images or told people his works were actual photographs, even going so far as to describe which kind of camera he used to create them ("a Nikon D810 with 24-70mm lens"). "

- stavros 4y ago> I don't understand why you are so skeptical. Really? This is the internet, skepticism should be the default!
- jxf 4y agoSkepticism should evaporate when presented with evidence contrary to the skeptic's point. Unilateral skepticism as a personality trait is boring and exhausting.
- andybak 4y agoExcept something does feel off about this story.
- ImHereToVote 4y agoFacts don't care about your feelings.
- andybak 4y agoHuh? That doesn't even make sense in this context.
- totetsu 4y agomaybe he included "a Nikon D810 with 24-70mm lens" in the prompt. then he still used ""a Nikon D810 with 24-70mm lens"" to create them.
- Applejinx 4y agoThe weird thing is that the camera body doesn't have much to do with the look. It's the lens and/or filters where you'll get your look. I guess it implies he's also a Nikon lens guy? And of course I'm sure that's half the secret sauce of his prompt engineering: a lot of camera-oriented stuff to lock in a consistent look to his output.

- HPsquared 4y agoSensor size, which is a characteristic of the camera body, has a massive effect on bokeh. Also things like colour balance can be affected by the camera body, though this has less of an effect if shooting RAW.
- Applejinx 4y agoOh! I'm sorry, I stand corrected, I was thinking only in terms of comparable cameras. I'm using Blackmagic PCC4K myself, and sure do like the capacity for real bokeh. If you're telling me the specific Nikon has even more striking effects from an even larger sensor, I'd stand doubly corrected. :)

- j16sdiz 4y ago(not parent) > I don't understand why you are so skeptical. I am gladful some people are more skeptical than others, so I can be less skeptical most of them time.
- pksebben 4y agoOkay, yeah. This was pretty cagey on his part. Would have been a good thing for the post to, you know, link to or something. My skepticism started growing when, as mentioned in another branch to this conversation, I clicked through the "dishonesty" link in this quote: | The online response was varied with some criticizing Avery’s dishonesty and others acknowledging the quality of the work. ..and was presented with an article about a completely unrelated event that had nothing to do with Joe Avery. That's about the moment that I adopted a (perhaps slightly excessive) adversarial posture. I get that there's a lot of FUD about this stuff, but news, this ain't.
