Comment on Pika Labs new generative AI video tool unveiled — and it looks like a big deal
Womble@lemmy.world 8 months agoThere is some technical skill involved in pointing the camera in the direction you want, but nothing exists until you hit the shutter, only a vague concept. The process is so detached from the artistic decision making that it is a complete outstrech to call it art. You can never have a personal style doing photography. No vision, no nuances.

Yes. Photography captures an instant of the real world. The photographer still has to choose the moment, perspective, composition, filters and so on, but they are very constrained (not as much as AI prompters).
The debate about the artistic involvement of photography has existed sonce the invention of the camera, it’s not something new.

That’s exactly my point, when the camera was first invented people decried it for killing art, now most people consider photography to be an art. You’re doing exactly the same with generative AI.
