AI has been the talk of the town around the photography industry for a few months now, with opinions ranging from it being a fantastic tool that will significantly reduce and streamline photographers' workflows to it being the death knell of many parts of the industry. This interesting video essay features an experienced commercial photographer offering some more pragmatic and balanced thoughts on how AI will change the industry.
Coming to you from Scott Choucino of Tin House Studio, this insightful video essay discusses the issue of AI's growing presence in photography and what it means for the future. No doubt, AI is going to significantly impact many industries, photography included, but I also think a lot of that impact is going to be positive. For example, I have been using ChatGPT for a lot of the daily tedium I normally deal with, and it has made me wildly more efficient in many areas. The ability to use natural language to pop out Javascript code for a website at the drop of a hat, to find the right wording for something, or even to generate a list of shoot ideas is really fantastic and allows me to focus more on the things that matter. Check out the video above for Choucino's full thoughts on the subject.
