I Am Scared of Ai taking our jobs...

Do not be scared. We can't go back in time... We need acceptance, upgrade, and adoption of AI. There is nothing you can do.

 

I understand but its the fact that the normal everyday person has access to Ai so easily.... a Clothing shop owner can upload pictures online and have an Ai Model model it, A Restaurant owner can take a picture of a plate and change the background and add text all with one sentence....

 

It all comes down to authenticity. I think it will determine whether we humans will continue to have man-made music, films, art, etc. If the majority of people like cheap, artificial content, it will become increasingly difficult. In that scenario, authenticity will be a kind of premium quality of content. Hopefully, there will always be people who recognize the value in it, both as consumers and as producers.

 

I think photography will turn into more of a luxury in the future. Phones and AI can make nice images, but they can’t give clients the real experience of a shoot. That experience, the human connection, and the memories from the session are what make people still choose us. Prints or short videos just add more value that AI can’t replace.

 

the first wave was when dslr cameras and chinamade equipments came to business. the second wave with smartphones. -this is the third wave

 

I would tend to agree with this as a general statement. AI as it relates to the likes of this forum can at best provide "shortcuts" at the the cost [risk] of skewing reality. At worse - perhaps impose unrealistic expectations, delete presently human-tasked positions - and result in emotional / mental illness as a potential sequeala.

It'll undoubtedly narrow the gap between "photographer A / photographer B" - and cause subsequent attrition. Not necessarily SO much for videography from a creation-sense point of view (so many variables). All the more reason to really learn the foundational elements and then supplement with adoption of AI-enhanced "tasks" to perform the "outsourcing" (so-to-speak).

But in the end - the value comes from the end-product - each is unique to the human face-to-face interaction.

Humbly speaking - peeps who like my work - know my work - recognizing the importance of respect attributed to the end result. As stated - the experience.

I appreciate an intelligent, confident person who knows how to communicate.
I love comfortable shoes (or boots), quality clothes that hold up, solid furniture, a good pint or old(ish) Scotch, fine-playing guitars, clean air and sunshine, and cars (or trucks) that I can still work on. But sadly - I'm seeing the erosion of generational craftsmanship as it's supplanted with lesser-par items - often much being tossed aside . . .

. . . but I hope I'm wrong . . . and "some" trajectory is maintained as those who want quality can be met with those who can "create" it . . .

 

Every major technological leap has unsettled old jobs. The printing press, the internet, automation, but each also created new kinds of value and opportunity. The internet didn’t eliminate work, it changed where and how wealth was generated. AI is doing the same. It’s not simply taking jobs... it’s moving human effort away from routine tasks toward creativity, strategy, and problem-solving. The challenge isn’t resisting change, but guiding it so the gains are shared.
