KI or the extinction of photography! What a sensation it was as the first chess computer Deep Blue won against Garri Kasparow back in 1997! Now it’s 2023….and our cars still don’t fly…. But it’s totally normal nowadays that computers play better chess than humans and AI pics on DA look better than a work by a human pro artist! Well….no, we aren’t quite there yet, but we’re heading in the direction quite fast when the KI might provide the better “stock photos” or “illustrations” and maybe also the better composition for images that will be sufficient for most use cases. As for the artistic value of the stock photos I made on famous places, which where shared a billion times on social media and me standing on the exact place where hoards of photography workshop attendees left the imprints of their tripos, I feel it would be hypocritical to complain about the missing “art” in AI art.

Gentle Reader, I got a core membership sponsored! So happy and grateful! Now I finally can start to create subfolders for my stock images and I'll also add some keywords so they'll be easier to find. Until the end of this year I plan to upload some further stock images. For 2020 I don't know in which direction I should go right now. Maybe I'll do some drawings again, provide less photos but more edited photos/in a better quality or provide more pictures of different objects that can be used for photomanipulations. I'll think about it. So far, thank you all for your support and comments and thank you John Slaughter  (https://www.deviantart.
