        Oh, I definitely think Photoshop will be obsolete before 2100 given current trends.

          Why? Be specific.

          Edit: in fact, be specific to individual workflows:

          • graphic design for UX/ui

          • graphic design for illustration

          • graphic design for web

          • graphic design for motion graphics

          • graphic design for multimedia/multiple platforms and CDN

          • all that other shit you didn’t think through for four decades!

              Found someone who refuses to answer a question. And my career is just fine because AI can’t replicate these workflows.

              Edit: AI may be able to produce one or two end products in these workflows today, but, realistically, these workflows produce hundreds if not thousands in their production timeline before they reach final approval and the final product is far more refined than anything AI could produce. Maybe that might change in the future, but, today, it’s just nowhere close to what we can achieve organically.

              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                Maybe that might change in the future, but, today, it’s just nowhere close to what we can achieve organically.

                Look at the rate of accelerating change over the past three years, and then think about the fact we’re talking about 75+ years from today.

                I really don’t get when people try to argue about the future given only the status quo and not considering the rate of change between the past and present in extrapolating the future. It happens a lot these days.

                  People who try to predict the future have the habit of always getting stuck in those future predictions. I’m just a humble human who has to live today with today’s tools. Have fun pontificating about what may happen tomorrow. I have to live in the now, working today, earning a living with what we have to work with in today’s world. And that means working with today’s workflows with the tools we have now not with some theoretical experimental workflow 75 years from now.

                  Have fun working in some theoretical future, but today, AI isn’t a real threat to complex creative workflows.

        I sure hope so, but Adobe is very insistent on buying out capable competition (See Substance Painter and figma) with all that subscription money

        I’m not a fan of Adobe (look at how shite Acrobat STILL IS) but I don’t see them leaving + so many pipelines/classes are already based around their software. These hooks are never leaving

    I’m curious if there’s any actual numbers to this or if it’s just shit-talking? It’s funny, I get it, but it’d be nice if there was actual data backing this up.

    The ubiquity of phone cameras have shown us that ghosts and alien encounters are extremely rare, possibly not real, and that abusive police officers and school teachers are pretty common. I suspect AI isn’t going to change that any more than photoshop will, since for implausible events we’ll expect multiple captures of the same thing, or for them to happen with enough frequency they become plausible.

    AI will turn into the new fake news, where politicians signalling to their base can argue a comment was artificially created and will instill doubt in those that want that doubt, much like Trump’s sex encounters at Epstein parties (really happened. Victims were scared away from testifying by mobster threats in 2016)

      There is absolutely no evidence that ghosts or aliens are real. There is documentation of UFOs, but the fact that we do not know what they are does not demonstrate the existence of aliens.

        In the 1970s, the show That’s Incredible showed plenty of evidence that ghosts haunted places like the Winchester House. In the 1990s and even the aughts, ghost-hunting shows were popular on television. But since then, when someone is able to posit accidental camera effects were responsible for a given image, that information spread worldwide like a California wildfire.

        When I was growing up, it was common knowledge that the Bermuda Triangle mysteriously ate planes and boats for reasons we couldn’t quite fathom. Nowadays, we can look up and find that the rate that they get lost to common elements is exactly what can be statistically expected for seas with treacherous elements. While some favored incidents might have required a combination of unfortunate conditions, they became unlikely misfortune rather than supernatural misfortune.

        When the documentry Chariots of the Gods came out, we didn’t have the direct access to reports by people who actually study the origins of hill figures, carved caves and the heads on Easter Island, so when someone told us it’s aliens, we couldn’t just look up a report by a cultural anthropologist who studied the things. Now, in this age, we can, and reports of aliens, ghosts and feats of engineering done with paleolithic technology are so routine that skepticism is the norm when someone suggests an unusual hypothesis.

        It’s not perfect. Some people still believe a toxoplasma gondii infection makes a human really, really fond of cats (it doesn’t, but strangely it does have a consistent symptom of desiring and enjoying high-speed travel) but now we have the capacity to look it up, and so when urban myths become a topic in a group, commonly someone will get curious enough to see if someone published a report.

        The Fermi Paradox tells us that even though we do not have evidence other life exists outside our own, we are the living evidence that life could exist in our universe, so the possibility of aliens existing in our expansive universe is enormous.

          We are detecting organic compounds on other worlds at this point, which isn’t quite evidence of life, but al least evidence of the processes that made for abiogenesis here here on earth.

          As for advanced civilizations, yeah we need to colonize other worlds, ourselves before assuming civilizations can advance enough to escape their own homes or probe other stars. Threats of nuclear war and ecological collapse are still great filters we’ve yet to pass, ourselves.

    You gotta understand.

    If you’re a celebrity, you’d like no paparazzi.

    Guess what. For paranormal phenomenons, it is exactly the same. They don’t like their privacy infringed by cameras. They are only now becoming more common again, because with the advent of AI image-gen, nobody will take photo proof seriously anymore.
