Photographers

people would still need professional photographers for weddings and other special events even if ai images develop rapidly, its just something that is not possible to replace, as photographers work in non-digital environments

its very high likely beacuse ai will generete photos as you wish

Each person's perspective on the world is different, and that's why each person's photograph is different. While artificial intelligence can create things on its own, human imagination is more creative because it's humans who develop and design artificial intelligence. There is nothing beyond the imagination of the person who creates it.

While certain forms of photography will definitely be taken over by AI (photos for commercials) there are other forms of photography that I can't imagine being taken over any time soon. I'm especially thinking about wedding pictures, or professional portraits for CVs.

A photographer captures what they want to convey, and this varies according to their emotional state and mood. Just like a writer or painter, they transfer their feelings into the photograph, and this is also a form of emotional expression.

I think that photography is a mix of emotion, talent, and technique. Sure, a robot can make a picture as beautiful as mine, but it can't capture the precious moments like a photographer.

Humans taking photographs of the world is a much more accurate and valuable approach rather than having AI generated images etc. It's more authentic

Product CGI plus Generative AI will supply most photographic needs, such as home decor and food. Stock images will be absorbed and or replaced by Generative AI. Blockchain digital watermarks can help to save some traditional artistic and commercial photography.

I'm a photographer, and the photography industry is doomed. AI image generation technology already exists, so all that has to happen is for it to become mainstream enough to be cheap to produce and add to most smartphones. Not only will the image quality be better, but it can also produce multiple images at once. In fact, AI images can even be copyrighted in some countries. The worst part is that since photographers are not paid much, there will not be much motivation to save the industry.

A lot of photographers' jobs can easily be replaced by automated drones and some AI to select frames from a high-definition video. There's no secret or creativity in many photography jobs (almost all social events, products...).

And yes, I'm a professional photographer, but as Galileo told us, we are not the center of the universe. :-P

drones. drones will fly around and take pictures

I think that a robot could take a photo if it was trained to, but it could never see beauty or creativity like a human.

For example, a robot could take photos with the correct settings and a cool angle, but a robot could never look at something and realize the true beauty and emotions that a human could feel.

So, a robot might take a photo with the correct ISO, AP, SP, and an angle that it has been programmed to look at. But never emotions because in the end, it's a machine.

Already happening with AI photos

Robots could not take over the personal touch and creative ideas photographers use in every single shot. There is not programing that could replace a person for this job.

The only reason this won't be replaced by robots is because the pay is so low there is no real reason to actively try to replace the profession. Also, this is easily a hobby profession/'freelancing' and will continue to have its niche just like we still have people using the Polaroids for fun.

Several forms of photography, particularly product photography, have already been largely automated with locations where you can bring your product, place it in a lightbox set, and AI assists the (non-photographer) customer in taking a series of professionally lit product shots. They're quite effective, will be easy to expand to new locations. Many of the techniques will eventually be possible to extend to portrait photography as well. AI algorithms are already deeply progressed in combing through google street view to crop and process landscape and urban photography according to classical composition standards. At this point, the primary limiting factor is the sample quality, but much of the principles used will be possible to extend to drones surveying scenic areas. While the small field of fine art photography will likely be unaffected, the majority of commercial or stock applications of photography are very likely to be done "well enough" by automatization to satisfy the primary customers of the field.

Atividade que envolve dinâmica com grande variação que não se prevê..e o fator determinante que o robô (IA) não vai atingir...a Sensibilidade Humana.

AI can measure photo quality and take "infinite" number of photos, then based on selection will select best shots. Imagine ball with lenses floating around, then from 100k pictures 100 is selected, based on "rememberability" and other defined patterns trained from famous photographers.

I think e-commerce photography that is very technical could be replaced by robots but from my experience, I think it very unlikely and hard to imagine that robots will do better than agency talents for editorial/creative photography
