Yes, I would say both unique and desirable. AI is making its own history at a rapid clip, but it's not photography.But surely all this digitisation, AI and can't believe any image you see, is making chemical photograph unique in the history of art.
Yes!
One would think/hope so insofar as it confers some epistemic foundation (i.e., show me the negative!). Of course, this might hold until they come up with a process whereby a program can etch negatives!
LTV negatives can be made from digital files.
Yikes! I guess this is good to know?
A copy of yesterday’s art will mostly not be today’s art.
Naturally yesterday’s art will be art. But a copy will be a whole different story.It's funny how the opposite sometimes also turns out to be the case. Although I think there's a very fundamental, albeit rarely mentioned divide between modern art and historic art. We've touched upon it before, on the forum, though, so it's acknowledged from time to time.
Don't sweat the small stuff. You already know what you have when you hold one of your negatives in your hand: the authentic article. There are many interesting things you can do to that negative afterwards, but the original is the original.Yikes! I guess this is good to know?

In a word NO, they are not art! They are art wannabes and will never be art. Art is human made, not machine made.
It was time for him to go. Most illustrators I know embrace all the technology available to them.
In commercial setting - possibly and has already happened. For hobbyists and artists out there - I can't see AI taking over the activities one loves doing as often the activity itself is what drives one forward.
Uncompressed music responds neatly to Volume knobs and buttons too
100% agreed. The two should never have met. AI is fine for commercial subjects such as advertising where specific details or a subject is required and as a cost saving method, but art as it is/was currently understood is an individuals perception not an amalgam of different ideas from different people put together and is to my mind a contradiction of terms.
There was a bit of a problem with forensic photography when digital reared its head and this is still looked upon as having some doubts with authenticity to be accepted in court. AI is just one step too far.
May also raise the value of traditional photography.
"Great photo. Did you Photoshop it?" What will we say with AI?
When I bought my new 4K UHD 75" TV with great speakers, I bought a sound bar to place under it. It has a setting that increases voice sounds so you can hear the people speaking better. A volume switch would just raise the levels of all frequencies. I keep the TV speakers off and just the sound bar.

The real problem with AI generated or altered images is one can no longer trust any image on a screen.
There was a time...You haven't really been trusting images you saw on a screen, have you?
Sorry.
Was there any really? It was just assumed I think. Darkroom people shot skies to later collage into blandscapes and Stalin removed his friends from photographs and life too!There was a time...

Sure. But until recently it took specialists to convincingly alter an image.Results are the same regardless if talented human or bot: you hardly can take an image at face value - default trust goes only so far.
Art matters and it hardly strives to be documental
