That's the issue with metaphors, they are always different. Try steelmanning the issue and see what you think. I'm not here to prove a point, and I hope you're not either. I'm here to learn.
And what I'm learning is, artists are happy.
- Forgeties79 2mo agoThis is rather patronizing and does not foster dialogue/learning. Nobody trying to learn talks down to somebody like this with such confidence that they are right. This is a topic I know very intimately and have strong feelings on. You are welcome to disagree with me, I am not the god of cameras and therefore always right, but I also should not be so quickly dismissed when it comes to this topic simply because you disagree with my take on AI generated “photography.” I use air quotes not to mock you but to emphasize that I do not consider it photography. It’s a different process and medium, it’s a different tool and result. None of this is a reflection of its merits or the people who utilize it. I believe your metaphor was a very poor one so I expressed it. If you think it’s appropriate than feel free to explain it, but IMO, prompting an image and shooting it with a camera in your hands is not the same thing. So don’t start talking down to me and lecturing me on “being willing to learn” simply because I explained my reasoning on this.
