The Bank

The Bank
For the Saturday Self-Challenge group, whose theme this week was "Artificial Intelligence."

I spent all week researching Artificial Intelligence and trying to figure out how to represent it photographically. The reason I picked a bank as my subject is because they employ AI in many ways. From the ability to accept checks deposited through a cell-phone application; helping to prevent fraud by using AI systems to learn what types of transactions are fraudulent; AI helps with credit decisions in determining the specific risk assessment for individual customers; or even to send customers text message alerts for a low balance, artificial intelligence is working in the background.

I don't have anything in my house that employs AI, and since this picture was taken on film using a camera made in 1916, I think you can figure out my stance on Artificial Intelligence.

The local bank in my little town. This was supposed to be the weekend of our local annual street fair, but apparently it was called off due to a virus. Normally you wouldn't be able to see the bank from this angle because there would be a corn dog stand in front of it or a Scrambler.

Camera: Kodak No. 2A Brownie Model B (made in 1916)
Film: Fuji Film Neopan Acros 100 B&W (120 size)
Aperture: F/16 (it has three different ones - f/8, f/11 and f/16)
Shutter speed: Approx. 1/25th sec.
Date: September 25th, 2020, 12.27 p.m.
Location: Norris City, Illinois, U.S.A.

Developing chemicals at 68 degrees F
Caffenol CM-RS – 11 minutes
Water rinse – 1 minute (to keep the chemicals clean)
Ilford Ilfostop stopbath – 1 min.

It's actually just an old photo that had this border and I place my photo inside it, over the old image.

The challenge was extremely difficult, in my opinion !! The idea of the bank is great !
However I hope the next challenge will be more "artistic" on a photographic point of view ! Happy week-end !

It was a very difficult challenge for me as well. I almost couldn't come up with a subject to fit the theme.

A well done and well chosen example! A do sympathise with your stance on AI.
It's frightening how much Google&Co know about us even when we try to turn off all the spy programs and delete scripts and cookies. Ideally we should use cash for our shopping, every card purchase gives the shops and bank more information about us. Difficult in virus times when contactless is the way to go...

Routers and servers are considered to be old technology and, as such, are not recognized as being artificial intelligence. They are just simple machines that are made to do one thing, not think or do anything else.

Dein PC arbeitet nie mit Cookies?

HaarFager club has replied to Taormina club
Yes, my PC works with cookies. No cookies are not artificial intelligence. They're not even machine intelligence. Any more than a bookmark to mark your place in a book is. They're practically the same thing. My PCs operating system is Windows XP, quite ancient in terms of technology. Now, if you're talking about chocolate cookies, I can't work without those!

Diese Lesezeichen hinterlassen gegebenenfalls deinen Geschmack.
Wenn du andere Seiten besuchst, wird dir manchmal unauffällig,
jedoch wahrnehmbar gezeigt, das auch auf dieser Seite das zu finden ist,
was du vorher auf einer anderen Seite angeschaut hast.

Beispiel:
Du schaust Online nach deinen Lieblingskeksen...
findest sie auf der HP deines Supermarktes.
Beim Surfen im Internet werden dir nun immer wieder diese Lieblingskekse begegnen.
Das kann aber auch eine Jacke sein, Schuhe oder ein Auto.
Egal was... durch das setzen eines "Lesezeichens", dem Cookie im PC
kann dir alles mögliche angezeigt werden, was dir sonst noch gefallen könnte.

A great subject for the challenge, Kenny! You are right, banks use AI in so many ways!

A good post for our topic, Kenny
Artificial intelligence is also there where you don't want it.

good thought for the challenge. they are full on AI indeed.

i'm so jealous that you have a darkroom, though i don't like developing film, i love printing.
i got lazy about having my own because we had a local darkroom one could rent (both b&w and color!) until about 3 years ago.

To paraphrase Robert Duvall in "Apocalypse Now,"

"I love the smell of film chemicals on my hands in the morning." It lasts for a day or two and it's an old and familiar smell.
