Wont be long before most GPs functions are replaced by AI and people waiting to for a Proctologist will be told "The Bot Bot will see you now". Anyone who watched Fall Out, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(American_TV_series) may not be looking forward to an age of medical robotics. Or read the original Blade Runner (of which Ridley Scott bought all the rights and then threw away everything except the title which he grafted on to "Do androids dream of electric sheep?". |

What I find really scary is the fact that I've been using AI in my photography for years without realising it, and it's particularly scary how this is down to my own stupidity.
This relates to Canon and the evolution of their film autofocus SLR cameras. 1987 saw the start of the EOS range with the 650 and 620. Autofocus was Single for static subjects or Servo for moving subjects, with which it would try to keep up. Two years later came the 600/630 and the closely related RT. A significant development was the improved continuous autofocus : rather than just trying to keep up with moving subjects, a predictive system came into play. Canon called it AI Servo, and has done since.
I managed not to realise that. It may be due to the fonts Canon use in their instruction books and camera displays, but somehow I always read that as AL Servo: as in Al Capone, You Can Call Me Al or Al Murray The Pub Landlord. Silly Me.

I can think of uses for Ai but I would be locked up for suggesting it is programed with a moral anti-war code.

Russ Croman's AI tools for PixInsight have been a game changer for astrophotography, and a new AI gradient and noise reduction program Graxpert is also shaking things up.

There is a magazine I get called Food and Travel - the photography is generally pretty good and some of the recipes are doable by someone like me. They have a section at the beginning, called Capture, of large photographs by an individual, usually travel themed, but normally interesting. However, this months are by a person name of Thierry Lechanteur, which look impressive on first glance, but turn out to be totally artificial AI created images. Worth a look if you are in WHS,
I was rather disappointed they decided to feature him in a magazine that supposedly illustrates the world. In AP, maybe it would be OK, but not in F&T. IMO.

This strikes me as selling the sizzle, not the sausage...Can AI produce a detailed instruction, to allow me to process a film? I don’t care!! I’m never going to develop another film and if somebody who hasn’t ever done it relies on AI and trusts that with developing treasured pictures rather than an experienced person to teach them good luck. Experience cannot be bought and AI actually has never experienced anything |
