If you've been paying attention to photography news, you can't have failed to notice the furore over AI image generation. Generators like Stable Diffusion, Dall-E and Midjourney make it possible to create artwork from nothing more than a sentence.
This has caused great excitement and apprehension among photographers, and the way these tools gather and reassemble the substance of existing photos raises real concerns about intellectual property. Whether you see AI as groundbreaking or a threat to traditional photography, we’re entering a new era of image-making.
