SFR AI imagining...it's fun!

Sorta fishing-related
AI models have to be trained. They use existing works (music, pictures, text) as "input" to their generation process. This raises concerns about copyright infringement. Did the original artist, musician, or writer get credit/paid? Or, is this all public domain now?

One has to ask though, at what point is a photo considered AI generated and should be banned?

Taking an existing photo and having AI clean it up, change the clarity, coloring, etc?

AI Copyright Lawsuit Developments in 2025: A Year in Review | Copyright Alliance

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models over the past few years has given rise to now over 70 infringement lawsuits by copyright owners against AI companies. While the cases are in different

Pretty obvious many AI companies are just flat out stealing copyrighted works, Anthropic being one of the worst offenders.

This whole AI thing won't end well.

I'll pass. not particularly interested in giving my data and money to Google's or the other AI company's oligarchs and the datacenters being built to support this are gulping up water to the tune of a liter per image generated that I'd rather see in streams. Driving up energy costs to boot. Just doesn't appeal to me.
 
I did underwater photography as a hobby many years ago, using 35mm transparency film, in a Nikonos V with two lights. I later did some professional tabletop photography using 4x5 sheet film in a "view" camera. I worked with a guy that paid $30,000 for a six megapixel camera! We were the pioneers of professional digital photography. I got pretty good at photoshop, and virtually no image was not "enhanced or altered" in some way. Perhaps this is why I find playing with AI photo imagining so entertaining. It truly is magical.
 
I will re-state that I am a complete newbie, that does not know what I'm doing. Obviously a professional could use this AI for nefarious reasons. But it can also be used as a powerful tool for having fun. Cheers folks.
 
I am certain that one million years ago some of our ancestors believed that the newly obtained ability to controll fire was going to be the end of us all......Personally, I think that they were right.
 
I like the image in post #25. Just a short few years ago, this image would have taken an enormous amount of time to create. But now? .. just minutes and presto...and the kicker is...anyone can start to do it!

Any of us can now produce any image we choose. Angry river otters surrounding a tortured guy on a computer as in post# 25 ....or a beautiful fish in beautiful waters. The choice is yours to make.unnamed-3.jpg

That point is reached seemingly endless times daily in our interfaces where it is used. The great question is will those giddy about the playing know when it is inappropriate?

Actually, I started this thread because I truly believe that other fisherman would enjoy the ability to create an actual image.... from just their imagination.
60 years ago I imagined a Bluegill that was tugging at my worm and making my bobber move... I'll see what I can produce in Gemini. In my mind, this is magicalView attachment 178166

Wow, a fat San Juan worm being fished under a bobber. Fix the bobber and it is an epic fly fishing photo!!!

I will be sure to send this to all my "bobber friends".

It looks just like the blue gills that are taking over my favorite trout lake.

This is an article that needs to be read, because what people think of AI from 6 months ago, a year ago, no longer exists. We may complain about it, fact of the matter is, it’s here, nothing we can do. Even my phone now, as soon as I open the camera app, AI controls the picture from start to finish.
