Is AI going to hurt photo editors? Photography will still remain but photo editing will all be done by AI.
Is AI going to hurt photo editors? It's already showing up in the latest versions of Ps and most cell phone photo editing apps. Some may say thet AI should be considered augmented intellegence that's capable of improving your skills and that it's about optimization and speed..............the problem being is that it will take less skill and talent from the operator thereby allowing anyone anywhere capable of competing with you! We live in a "one click" world were anybody can subscribe to Ps and in one simple click, edit photos more masterfully than those who may have 30 to 40 years experience. Not to mention websites where you can have any edit done..............why pay you for something they can get for free and, more than likely, get better results.
AI will eventually deliver a devastating blow to any and all human creative processes involving art, literature, music, and all visual digitally based platforms including TV, and movies. Artists, musicians, writers, actors, newscasters, reporters, journalists, lawyers, any and all human involvement in advertising, coders, programmers, website builders, engineers, analysts in all categories, mathematicians, bankers and accountants, language interpreters, pretty much all teachers of most subjects, telephone help,.........................sadly the list goes on and on.
OK............this can be a loaded question. AI is still in it's infancy but it's not going away either. It's only going to improve! My own personal advice would be that you continue to learn editing so long as you do so knowing that it's only a hobby and not an ongoing, viable source of income that can support you alone, much less a family. Examine your reasons for perusing your interests in photo editing. If earning a living is your ultimate goal, find a career that AI can't replace................like a trade craft that involves physical hands on!
I myself have seen AI is impacting my current market that I have done exceptionally well in...................I have some customers who are no longer using me and my services preferring (and settling for) AI generated graphics. I'm hanging on but the writing is on the wall!!! Luckily I'm close to retirement age and I won't be heavily affected when I'm rendered obsolete by upcoming AI advances.
Relatively safe career choices!
The age of AI and Robots is here, you may be worried that robots will take your jobs. There are some jobs that have a low risk of being taken over by AI.
