Mathieu Stern’s example of a ‘fake’ camera photo (courtesy of PetaPixel website)
Toronto. We have all (well some of us) heard about artificial intelligence (AI) tools and the amazing job they can do to create a photo. They can also create photos of cameras that were never made!
The PetaPixel site shows some examples: “Mathieu Stern tells PetaPixel that he generated the fantasy cameras using Midjourney before working on them in Photoshop.” Have a look at the article, “Photographer Fools the Internet With AI-Generated Cameras That Don’t Exist“.
Our enthusiastic photo historian and good friend, George Dunbar, came across this article and shared it. I also received an email from Russ Forfar on the same article. Thanks guys! The article shows how modern technology interacts with the art of photography raising a concern once again on whether or not “the ‘camera’ or a ‘print’ lies”.
Note: Post title is a riff on a line in the amusing poem called Antigonish [anti gone ish] by Hughes Mearns. The poem also became part of a 1960s British war movie called, “The man who never was“.
