       Having AI-enhanced photography software on your phone doesn’t replace you pointing your phone camera at the subject you’re interested in and framing the composition. But using LLMs to generate ideas or structures is akin to letting a machine move the camera and chose its own framing and composition.

       @drmambobob I disagree.  The changes AI does to photos on a phone can be massive.  Spend 10 minutes looking at selfies from 40+ mums on Facebook! (Plus pretty sure it'll recompose for you in some cases).  Where as you could use an LLM to enhance ideas or provide starting points.  I guess I'm saying I don't think they are that different, and both can aid/be useless equally.

       @PeterFalkingham You still have to point the camera at the subject and frame the picture yourself. The AI doesn’t do that. In that sense you still took that picture.

       @drmambobob it does though.  It'll (or can) use AI to do a crop within the frame, so you're not even composing.  You're doing no more than saying "I want a picture of vaguely what's in front of me"

       @PeterFalkingham But you still have to physically point the camera at your subject and look at the screen to capture what you want. The light still comes through the lens as you’ve aligned. All the AI tool does then is to help you capture that moment as you see it with your eyes by adjusting the colours, contrast, etc. I’m not talking about letting the AI alter the composition or any of that. If that’s what you mean by ai enhancement then I don’t think we’re talking about the same thing.
