AI is NOT your problem…

Photographers and other artists… If you’re worried about being replaced by AI, that tells me that you have allowed your work to become a commodity.

Because if your work is a cliche or so mundane, so without feeling — that it can be that easily replaced by something drawn in a computer, it’s not the AI that is your problem.

I apologize if this offends anyone. It’s meant to be tough love. Make sure you put your heart into your work. Make sure people who see your work can FEEL something. Make sure you have a point of view as an artist and that you’re willing to own it and share it. Make sure you don’t let your work get treated like a commodity by selling it by the square inch. Show us how you feel — if you can, then AI will never take your place.
