RE: Landscapes of Ladakh: AI vs Real
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't know. I started off loving it - I created an experimental series of cyborgs in the wild west, showing how technology and humans Co exist in uncomfortable ways. But lately, I've come to hate AI images. This one is no exception - it looks unreal, flat, without vitality. Gimme imperfect and moments caught with the human eye any day. I'd rather your worst photo to break up text than an AI one. We survived just fine without it before.

AI struggles a lot with landscapes, does rather well with digital dreamscapes. If you think about it that makes sense. It does well with things that do not exist, does poorly with things that does. However, this is a rapidly advancing branch of technology, soon it will make many things obsolete.
I guess you need to adopt a kind of fatalism in the face of it. Just when I get depressed about it, I go and see a real landscape, which is an absolute antidote to the problem.
I can't help but think of vinyl album covers and the awesome dreamscape art and surrealist landscapes you'd get in the 70s. No matter how realistic AI gets, I'd still prefer a human dreaming a dream of a dream over an AI reflecting the dream of us back at us.
I'm not anti AI as such, just kinda sad we have brought it into being and have it create images we were pretty good at doing ourselves.

Ha yep it is!

I got the reference - I love your references. I wonder what Adams would have to say about all of this.
