Since it appears that @Jessnatarte has been found out for generating all their "photos" and has now deleted their account or blocked me - I have one more question. Hey @Ducgris do you have an explanation as to why a lot of your photographs would have an embedded AI watermark? Given the fact you have put your name to them, have even said where some of them were taken - like the obviously AI generated ladybug one that you claim was taken in Serra Calderona in May of 2021. Clarification would be great, thank you. #photography #amateurphotography #ai #noai #supportartists #astrophotography #questions

I wonder how much longer we will still be able, whether technically or through logical inference, to distinguish AI-generated images from real photographs. From the very beginning, the nature of photography has carried within it aspects of subjectivity and the unnatural. After more than 200 years of photography, we have now arrived at a point of culmination where the real as the foundation of photography becomes obsolete. It fascinates me, but it also saddens me.
@Vulpy @NotAHopeInHades Your comment made me think (and my thoughts aren’t fully formed yet) about how people related to images and “truth” before the advent of photography. Paintings and illustrations could convey an impression of “reality” but were fully understood to be subjective artistic representations, not the real thing. If photography now fully shifts into this category, perhaps we are returning to that kind of relationship with all visual media.
