So many thoughts on this lately - and I'm curious if you feel the same.
The topic: AI.
A lot of colleagues in the (wedding) photography world are encouraging us to embrace it, saying those who don't will get left behind. I understand that. The appeal of a faster workflow, a lighter workload, more time with family instead of hours at the computer - that's real 100%, and I don't dismiss it.
But I keep coming back to a quieter question: what happens to a world where anyone can instantly appear to be an expert in something they've never actually studied or practiced? And what does that mean for those who've spent years - genuinely - developing a craft with their own hands, eyes, and mind?
On a personal note: when I come across content that was entirely planned, written, edited, and posted by AI, I find myself losing interest. I wonder if others feel similarly?
No strong agenda here, just an honest question. I'd love to hear where you stand. Share your thoughts below. 🤍
Also, does anyone still read actual captions or are we all used to only reading slides hooks anymore? 🤣🙈
