Even better than the real thing !

I am learning about AI generated images

I asked Google Gemini AI to create an image

Before the Skye Bridge was built. The morning, the sun behind the camera a view at Kyle of Lochalsh from the ferry terminal with a Ferry waiting below and the Lochalsh Hotel on the right. In the distance the skyline of the Cuillin mountains on the Isle of Skye.

Picture in Picture is my real photo dated 1980.

It was just an exercise and as there is currently a discussion about the use of AI on Ipernity

Eine andere Brennweite, aber ansonsten sehr repektabel!

Not really. It is more like a collage but I certainly like this result.
My other attempts at image creation with different subjects are abandoned as the results are of no interest.

Now let’s use this image to discuss whether there should be a requirement to label AI-generated images. In this case it is clear from the description that the image was created by AI. But what if Colin had posted this image without the description and the title said that the image shows the ferry terminal next to the Lochalsh Hotel?

In my view such a use of AI would be misleading as this image might be very similar to the real situation at this place at a certain time in the past. However, it still does not qualify as a documentation of a real scene as there are also significant differences to the historic reality at this place.

Therefore in my view it is perfectly o.k. to post such an image on ipernity, but it should be clearly labeld as AI-generated in order to prevent the misperception that the image is a documentation of the reality.

I think I agree. I don’t feel I would be able to post this without explaining it is not a real record of the scene. It says a lot about me, almost all of my photos are about something real a bird, a landscape or some kind of reportage rather than a more creative art.
I am sure others will have something to say.
