“Photographers don’t want their photos to look like they were created by AI. They still want to be recognized as people who practice photography — not promtography.”

This is my stance when I'm editing my photos. I want to keep the creative control. I use AI for masking, removing an object that is the way, stuff that might have taken me a long time to do in the past. But I'm not using it for creative editing at scale.

I'm not one hundred percent certain which scenarios might trigger me needing to shoot vertical and horizontal video at the same time, I typically pick a format and just run with it. But just from the pure energy of this guy who created it, I'm gonna download it and give it a try anyway. :)

"In Dual-Lens Mode, it uses both rear cameras on supported iPhone models, typically the wide and ultra-wide lenses, to capture footage simultaneously. Alternatively, Single-Lens Mode allows users to record both portrait and landscape versions from a single camera, including support for front-facing capture."

The fundamental argument of this post is that the process AI uses to restore a photo is a prediction... a prediction it often gets wrong. I think AI does a good job of colorizing black-and-white images when you're not asking it to do anything else. However, when a photo is severely damaged, its facial predictions often alter the subjects' identities.
