The Ethics of AI - CineD Focus Check Ep46

One can’t mistrust the image, the image exists. One can / should question the user / narrative / behind the image.

I must say, as photographer I agree with most of what you say, but, semantically, perhaps getting too philosophical; Watch out with your use of the word REAL. The image of the train in Scandinavia is real, it exist, actually. It exists in the digital reality. I believe different adjectives should be used in regards of computer assisted generated images. A different topic is the use given to those images by other. Keep on with this type of content.

^ This. Everything on a screen is fake. Even the ‘real’ stuff. It’s just chips, wires, and panels reproducing reality. Philosophical but true.

You mention it doesn’t matter what tool you use, and then turn around and say using an iPhone to shoot a film as inauthentic.

AI is largely overrated. It’s just another tool. Its value depends on how it’s used. It can be powerful for solving specific problems but it doesn’t replace human creativity, intuition, or critical thinking. The key is in using AI as a complement to our own abilities rather than expecting it to take over everything.
