We’ve all heard the grumblings and praise of AI. In our industry you’ll hear anything from “This thing is insane, man!” to “Photography is now a dying art”.
On the podcast, we have a collection of good thoughts, updates and a conversation about AI features in Adobe products! … Specifically, Photoshop!
I’ve had all sorts of thoughts about AI…. but what’s fascinating is that the more I consider what’s going to happen to our industry, the more I realize that my brain wants to default to FEAR… even when I’m trying to be optimistic.
It’s a soundtrack, a pattern, a cycle that us humans are naturally wired to fall into. We want to self-protect and control the narrative of what happens to us and it takes WORK and INTENTIONALITY to be able to notice when we’re spiraling into only believing in ONE OPTION and ONE OUTCOME!
The more I sat with my thoughts on AI and observed how others are reacting, the more I realized this season in our industry is giving photographers a new opportunity to do THREE THINGS!
-
Name the lie
-
Notice my spiraling
-
Think of NEW possibilities!!
And in the words of Alexander Hamilton… just you wait.
I think the future of our industry is going to lean deeper into authenticity because the lack of reality will be SO prevalent!!
Want to catch up on more episodes?! Listen below!
Thanks for reading!
