Mathieu Stern’s example of a ‘fake’ camera photo (courtesy of PetaPixel website)<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. 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!<\/p>\n

The PetaPixel<\/a> site shows \u00a0some examples: “Mathieu Stern tells PetaPixel<\/em> that he generated the fantasy cameras using Midjourney<\/a> before working on them in Photoshop.” Have a look at the article, “Photographer Fools the Internet With AI-Generated Cameras That Don\u2019t Exist<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

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 \u00a0the same article. Thanks guys!
