Is straight photography dead?

[Alan Edward Klein]

Many artists have relied on a muse to inspire their work. Manet used Victorians Meurent, Man Ray had Kiki de Montparnasse and Lee Miller, Picasso had Dora Maar, etc.

In this program, cancer patients fulfill the role of muse when they are teamed with artists to produce work that speaks about the cancer patient’s experience.

"The Brushes With Cancer initiative pairs artists with cancer survivors, who, over a four-month period, serve as muses (or “inspirations”) for artworks to be exhibited and auctioned off at a gala event."

Perhaps that is a role AI can play, as an artist muse.

How about Ai critiquing your photos?

Hoe do you do pictures? It seems it only does text things.

Yes, it’s a language tool. For images, Midjourney.com is the tool.

How about Ai critiquing your photos?

I imagine it will get there at some point. After all, ChatGPT has already passed the bar exam:

Certainly, transparency would help that a lot.

When it comes to transparency, in the US, one needs to go to Guidestar and pull up a nonprofit’s 990 to see where the money goes. This is advisable when dealing with any charity.
