You named it yourself at the end. The difference is that the people took that photo. What's important is not the image itself, the arrangement of pixels, but what it means: for some people means achievign the dream of travel to Paris, for some other people it means "I was here, I see it live", etc. People don't take pictures because they are beautiful or well composed (well, most people), but because the meaning in their lives about that particular event.
That's why I don't think people would like IA to improve their photos of their weddings, or so on. People don't make a wedding to have the perfect photo at sunset, but to have a nice event with people they love, and the photos are to capture that and nothing else. People's favourite photos (and not only from weddigns) are blurry, caught with friends, etc., because those pictures capture the feeling of a good moment.
- Wistar 3y agoBack when I was working on a photo-memories app in the early 2000s, a PM said, you know, the photo of the outside of dreary hotel near the beach isn’t about the hotel but about the hilarious hotel bar tender you and your friend were entertained by the night before the photo was taken.
