If you are reading this on your cell phone you can probably
double tap this box and it will fill your screen from side to
side, which will make it easier to read. You can double tap
again to zoom back out. The same is true of any of my photos. My photos are so beautiful that some people don't believe they are real. Fifteen or twenty years ago, long before Artificial Intelligence, I already had people telling me, "You just made these in Photoshop, didn't you?" Now with A. I. creating all kinds of images that never existed in real life, I am sure there are a lot more people that think my photos don't represent reality. That's why I recently posted on my homepage what looks like a seal or a certification that this website uses no artificial intelligence. None of my photos have been generated or created by computers or computer programs, niether have I placed anything inside of my photos using Artificial Intelligence. Yes, I do use Photoshop, but not to completely alter the photos. There are somethings I have to do with every photograph, including crop, resize, add a border, and add a watermark. Occasionally I will do something equivalent to removing a piece of litter from an otherwise perfectly beautiful beach, and sometimes I will need to balance the light in certain areas of the photo because the camera was not capable of recording both the dark and light areas of the image accurately. That's my point here, yes, I do use Photoshop to adjust the photo so that it more accurately represents what I actually saw, but not to insert animals, trees, or other objects. This principal remains true throughout my website, even to the designing of my pages. None of my stories have been written by A.I., nor reworded, nor even proof read. I don't have Word, so I do not even use a spell check. I write and spell everything with my own brain. If I am not sure how to spell something, I look it up in Merriam Webster. The same is true of my music. Not one lyric, not one note has ever been written by A.I. Everything on this website represents the work of an artist, the creative side of my human brain. |
