Sieht aus wie gemalt. :-) HFF, Guido.

In Dreams! In Clifford's dreams he can soar over such obstacles with ease. Nicely done Guido
HFF and have a good weekend

Thank you for your comment and your view on the usage of artificial intelligence for the creation of images on a photo sharing site. I have thought about your comment some time and it reminds me not to exaggerate posting AI-generated content.

If photography is defined as capturing and documenting something seen in reality AI-generated images certainly do not fit this definition. Therefore I understand that some people may have reservations with respect to the presentation of AI-generated images on ipernity.

On the other hand also classic photography is not only used for documentary purposes but also as a general tool or technology for creative image generation. Also classic photos often are created in artificial settings that are not intended to simply capture reality but to create a certain kind of image. In this sense artificial intelligence may simply be seen as a new technology that enriches the toolbox for image creation.

I consider ipernity a diverse community of people with different tastes that use different tools and techniques to create images. In order to foster creativity of its members in my view a certain degree of tolerance with respect to the content of other members is necessary on ipernity. We can't expect other users to post only content we like. As well we have the freedom to post content that other users might not like.

What does this mean for AI-generated content on ipernity? In my view it is perfectly ok if ipernity members explore this new technology, exchange their experiences with it and inspire each other how it can be used. But I agree that it should not dominate ipernity and members should not flood ipernity with huge amounts of AI-generated images.

Artificial intelligence inevitably will affect the work of photographers to an increasing extent in the future. This in my view is another reason why it is legitimate that ipernity members explore this new technology and test the possibilities and limitations of it.
