wtf
Edit: Apparently this is satire or an art project
This type of extravagant technological solution feels like something Aperture Science would make
We do what we must because we can.
Cave Johnson, we’re done here.
y’all mfs trying to detect obvious satire challenge (impossible)
Wait, is it?
Well, the camera itself is just an art project.
But I have no idea if the person who posted it with that text is delusional or trying to be funny.
pretty sure it is :)
I corrected the title and post!
It’s a shame so many people are being so annoying with AI. There are so many genuinely incredible possibilities.
Why does every tech bro want to replace things thay make people happy, like art with AI?? It’s so confusing tbh
I thought things like low level customer service or menial tasks would make sense to replace first
Because they don’t have the artistic skill themselves and they are parasitic by nature? So they latch onto a tool that itself is a parasite?
agreed. in the case of AI art, there are some legitimate artists out there (Rob Sheridan comes to mind) who are making wonderful use of AI image generation tools and incorporating it into their artwork and it’s SO cool.
it’s a shame that so far the loudest people touting AI are the annoying “bro buy my latest shitcoin” techbros.
Thought this is an invention for blind people at first.
Someone please kill me
I can’t imagine anyone other than tech bros actually using this in any scenario
It’s a cool art project.
AI image generation aside, this sort of thing might be genuinely useful for someone who is blind or low vision. It’s like alt text for the world.
I want to capture the thing I’m looking at. Art is an attempt to convey personal experience to another person with an unknowable other experience. Having the basis of art be other people’s art without at least personal control of the end composition is just all backwards. Not to mention that’s not a camera, it’s literally a different thing. These people get me so flustered
Can you still call it “Camera” if it doesn’t even catch any photons?
cAImera!
actually, Google was really working on something like this, based on googlestreet images, gps, accelerometer, time, AI etc… to deduce the image and sell cameraless smartphone.
what a stupid idea, honestly
- because it is indeed stupid: the most inefficient way to provide an existing and cheap feature
- cameras are actually the selling point of most the expensive smartphone
- I WANT to capture it myself
This is one of those “it’s cool!” things that people took way too far
@sexy_peach what if the AI doesn’t already have the image 👀 ?
That’s not how AI works
Looks like a lot of unnecessary extra steps for worse effect.
It is incredibly ironic though because back in the days photography was attacked as the thing that would “destroy art”.
