![]() This is evident throughout his interactions with memories and heirlooms found throughout the mansion. The Painter is a man with obviously many sides to him. Now a little older and wiser, I took a look at these again and had a change of heart. I will be offering my own interpretations and they are, by no means, concrete, canon, or confirmed by the Bloober Team.Īt first, I didn’t think that these weird paintings meant anything much - just a vehicle for a good jumpscare when they would appear suddenly behind doors, or fly off walls. (#Selfie! Humour aside, note how the light and dark vastly changes the tone of a picture.) Disclaimerġ.) There are a lot of spoilers in this article, so please read at your own risk if you haven’t played Layers of Fear and 2.) The views and opinions in this article are all my own. The views expressed in this column are not necessarily those of Amateur Photographer magazine or Kelsey Media Limited.Credit goes to our CEO for sweet headshots Who could have foreseen that it would be the other way around? Good luck to any kids out there who dream of working in photography or the visual arts when they grow up, or pretty much any creative industry.Ī generation or two ago we always thought that robots would one day free us from the tyranny of mundane jobs and allow us to spend our time engaging in more creative pursuits. With AI ‘photography’ (we really need to come up with a better name for this new medium) it’s now the turn of the creative industries. The tech industry presents itself as our friend – wooing us with videos of dancing cats and infinite shopping possibilities – while destroying millions of jobs and laying waste to entire industries. There is already overwhelming evidence of the catastrophic damage that social media is having on our kids, on our self-esteem, on political discourse and on democracy itself. We’re already living in that world to some extent, thanks to technology and social media. Adobe might not be the pioneer here, but Photoshop is one of the best / most widely used pieces of software so it feels like bigger news.ĭoes your image of your pastel shirt collection need a questionable picture as the finishing touch? AI can help!Īll this said, I can’t help but feel that a world in which nobody knows what is real and what isn’t, what is truthful and what is completely made up, is not a healthy society. Lots of other firms in our industry are using it, too. ![]() Of course, Adobe is not alone in using AI. How will this affect payment to Adobe Stock contributors whose images were involved in the AI simulation of a sausage dog in the first place?Īdobe’s current line is that ‘we are developing a compensation model for Stock contributors, and we will share the details of this model when Firefly (Adobe’s AI model – Ed) exits beta.’ We fear the contributors are unlikely to be paying off their mortgages on it.Īnd here’s another question – if you type in a prompt for sausage dog, do you get the same results that I do, or are a newly created set of sausage dogs made every time? We’ve asked Adobe for clarification on these points, but it’s already feeling like a can of worms has been opened here. Say you type in ‘sausage dog’ for example, to add to your original picture via the new Generative Fill tool. ![]() There is also the question of how the extra images you can add to your picture were created and paid for. The crocus is suddenly transported into the Sound of Music, thanks to AI AI gone to the dogs That’s if we will ever know the answer, because unless all photos will carry some kind of identifying label stating whether AI has been used, we’ll never know. And no longer can we ask the question ‘Is that an actual photo captured by a camera or an AI generated image’ because the answer will now increasingly be, ‘it is both’. Despite the amount of AI that phones (and cameras) already use behind the scenes to make a pleasing image, there is still an assumption that their output is still vaguely a facsimile of reality.īut we’re now entering an era where we can no longer trust anything we see. ![]() At least a smartphone camera is still a camera – it’s just a different shape. It has blurred the line between what is real in a picture and what is not. Adding an AI-generated car, pond and cloud now takes mere minutesīut by building generative AI into the latest version of Photoshop, and enabling users to seamlessy add entirely AI-generated elements to real photos as editable layers, Adobe has opened the cottage door and invited the bear in the woods to come in and make itself at home.
