In this episode of the Perceptive Photographer Podcast, I delve into the continuing dialog and conversations around the evolving role of generative AI in photography. Reflecting on my recent experiences, I share frustrations about people’s reactions without justification and start to set the stage for a broader discussion on AI’s impact.

As I always try to call out, there is a difference between that which is completely generative AI, which is a distinct art form requiring its own critique and classification and photography tools that use AI that make what would have been done anyway easiler.

In the conversation today, I am trying to encourage photographers to reflect on their boundaries regarding image manipulation and engage in meaningful conversations about the ethical implications of AI tools. Ultimately, I urge listeners to embrace the dialogue and continue growing as photographers.
