AI vs STUDIO OWNERS

-

Rapidly AI is taking over the photo studio industry. 


What is AI? And what does it do when it comes to photography? 


AI is an acronym for Artificial Intelligence. It is a branch of computer science that uses computational models to perform tasks that previously required human intelligence.


To successfully use AI to generate pictures, all that is needed is the facial features of the person in the portrait you desire to recreate. 


After you provide 'a face', AI goes over and above your expectations. 


It gives you a beautiful background, a posture, add or remove objects, create entirely new images, 

give new clothes, and even a new smile.


AI does so much that you will be shocked when you see the outcome it gives you.


The interesting current trend now is that people hardly visit the photo studio again. 

I know people who take snap shots for their birthdays every year. They prefer AI pictures now than going to the studio. 


After all said and done, the truth is that AI has come to stay and may not be going away any time soon. 


What next then? 

I ask because what cannot be changed has to be adjusted to or managed. 


AI has gradually crept in to take the place of humans in performance of  responsibilities. 


We see this happening in areas like, the banking sector, farming, engineering and many other aspects, and of course, in photography as well.


My question now is, are photo studio owners/ managers finding this easy at all? Is it not affecting their business?



Please, use the comment section, I want your opinions.

WHY DO SOME PEOPLE FIND IT SO DIFFICULT TO SAY THE WORDS: "I'M SORRY"?

-

Like, seriously, it baffles me. In fact, it amazes me. Maybe because I do not see admitting my fault as a big deal. I like to admit when I am wrong and apologize when need be. That is why it amazes me when people will rather lose years of meaningful relationship and friendship than say the simple words 'I am sorry'.  It is worthy of note though, that admitting your wrong and saying you are sorry to the offended party doesn't stop there. It goes beyond just saying it, you have to actually mean it when you say it. Some people say they are sorry just because they want that episode to pass. Then, they go and commit the same blunder again or even worse the next time. That is not good at all. I use the phrase 'not good' for lack of a stronger one.  See, saying sorry for your wrong doing (when you are sincere) does not reduce your person, worth or importance in any way. As far as I'm concerned, I think it increases your worth. It shows you have admitted your wrong and ...

CARELESS WORDS

  ********************* There is a fact we need to always take cognisance of: WORDS are POWERFUL! WORDS CAN EITHER MAKE OR BREAK A PERSON OR A RELATIONSHIP. Words can move a person to tears or propel laughter. Someone once said, “Words are sometimes more destructive than nuclear bomb”. Well, it's true, so you need to be careful how you speak to people or address a person. Some hurtful words can make the recipient feel so bad, feel mentally battered or even begin to have suicidal thoughts. A thought that just came to my mind concerning the effect of words is this: Comedians make people laugh, what do they use? WORDS! The suicide bombers are manipulated to carry out their dastardly act through what? WORDS! They are usually not forced to become suicide bombers, all their manipulators use are WORDS. YOU SEE THE POWER OF WORDS? God made the world through words. That means IF THE RIGHT WORDS CAN CREATE, THE WRONG WORDS CAN ALSO DESTROY WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED. Be mindful of what you say....

CELEBRATING IMPACT:- MR EMMANUEL

Mr. Emmanuel was one of my favourite teachers in secondary school. He was our Christian Religious Studies (CRS) teacher. HE WAS A VERY GOOD TEACHER. That subject he taught; CRS is a subject that most students usually find boring and uninteresting . But I can assure you that CRS is not boring, only the teacher teaching it can make it appear to be so. THE WAY AND MANNER A TEACHER TEACHES A SUBJECT CAN DETERMINE WHETHER STUDENTS WILL LIKE IT OR NOT. Also, have you noticed that if a student dislikes a teacher, it affects the student's attention span on that subject and by extension affects their performance in that subject? That takes me back to Mr. Emmanuel. There was never a dull moment in this man's classes despite the fact that he teaches one of the subjects students term 'boring'. Muslims or Islamic students who saw how he explained the topics in Christian Religious Studies and gesticulates always snuck into his classes so as not to be left out of the fun that is usua...
