So it has begun…. The only AI I use is when I’m using photoshop and Lightroom. Yes, editing programs have AI to help you get the image you desire; even the simple tools like stamp tool and lasso are technically AI. What good does this kinda shit do anyways 😂
I wonder if this happened from someone scraping metadata (which i was told Bluesky scrubs?)—adobe wants to embed "ai tools used on this image [list]" metadata on exports... As in, adobe wants us "select sky" users become the cover for "generative thewholething"
I am one to select the sky 😂😂 I’ve also erased people and bushes and misc. ugly things in the way. Because I can. It’s bizarre that using tools like this now means I’m an “ai photographer” in the eyes of such haters/scanners but 95-99% of the shot is from the camera soooo…. Whatever lol
Ah, generative remove Yeah, not for me, i'm focused on documentary & want people to believe my images are real, still hold on to hope of photojournalism. Mixed feelings about that one. But photoshop has been doing it for 20 years, its already normalized pre-ai. This person unserious tho (attached)
Theyre abusing modlists to curate their own experience to the degree it's repulsively prudish
Oh…. Oh my god hahaha 😂 this person has way too much time on their hands
I have used generative remove maybe a small handful of times, but it always looks like ass when zooming in so I don’t want to deal with the pixel bullshit it leaves behind. Most of the time I go with a journalistic approach myself. I struggle hard with lighting though 🥲
Yeah the ass texture is highly visble at anything above phone res "remove distract" in lrc (new today) 16.5 seems like it may be less prone to assgrain than ps (bc it pulls from raw) But i'm scared to try it bc of chuds like in op nailing scarlet letter on me
I am no fan of AI (it says so right on my profile), and I hate AI generated images and text, both for their bad quality and their use of stolen work. BUT I absolutely use editing tools on my own photos that, of course, use AI to some degree. I feel like, as long as the image is mine and I...
...don't add scraped content, any way I fiddle with my own image—digitally or manually—is part of my creative process. These AI purists are getting a little crazy imo. I mean, if you don't like what I'm doing, don't follow me or even block me if you're going to be triggered by seeing one of...
...my photos pop up in your Discover feed. But don't put me on some list that misrepresents my work and make it public so other people block me based on *your* weird biases. I've only had this happen once (so far) and the guy had blocked me so I couldn't reach out to him personally. But...
...someone reached out to him on my behalf. To his credit, he admitted he'd made a mistake and took me off the list. But who knows how much of this crap is going on? The whole idea of putting users on public "lists" without giving them a heads up is a bit creepy to me, tbh.
You said everything that I’m thinking lol like why is the culture on this app to make public lists in negative ways telling people to block others without checking facts, without talking to them first, and just basing everything on assumptions like tf… it’s creepy yes and bizarre childish behavior.
It's not just block lists. People have complained about being added to starter packs they don't align with and didn't ask or want to be on. It's a factor of being on a user-driven platform, I guess; it's empowering in a way. But, dude, curate your own feed w/o pushing your shit on everybody else.
Yeah I’ve been added to tons of shit lol I don’t fully understand this system because it could actually make visibility harder. I like the system of watching and pinning feeds for specific things though!
