Nikon puts AI back in its place

So it is both a) I’m too technically dumb to know the implications of AI or 2) AI nonetheless wants human enter to make it work or 3) we’re already utilizing too many surveillance strategies even earlier than the AI or 4) any of the above.

Nonetheless, certain AI is tremendous impactful, and sure, similar to robotics earlier than it, it’s going to find yourself changing many roles. However once more, simply that humorous picture of math academics within the mid-70s protesting towards the usage of calculators, AI is right here to remain.

Nikon is aware of it. But in addition use it to its benefit stressing “do not hand over on the true world” with a sequence of pictures to well-done, they may have been generated by AI – however truly they weren’t. So much time in the past I noticed a wonderful picture taken by the legendary Steve McCurry, as I confirmed it to an artwork director on the advert company I used to be working in on the time, he was unfazed and mentioned “I can do this in photoshop”. I attempted to make him perceive that there was no photoshop concerned. He was adamant.

However photoshop or no photoshop, McCurry loses none of his magic. And – I really nonetheless assume – that we nonetheless want human creativity to get AI to do what we would like. Solely quicker and in a much less cumbersome approach.

And purchasers will at all times reject our choices, so it is not like something will change on the bottom.
