The Computer Ate My Photos: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Photography: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Computer Ate My Photos: Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Photography" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Much like the big shifts that photography saw with the widespread availability of digital cameras and the Internet, the increasing prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the industry is causing a shift in how we capture, edit, and manage our images.
Make more impactful images and be more successful by embracing AI in your photo future.
Whether one is a casual hobbyist with a smartphone or a full-time professional photographer with high-end equipment, AI is found in the cameras, lighting, and software that come together to make modern photographs. The Computer Ate My Photos is an exploration of all things AI as it relates to the world of photography.The Basics of Artificial Intelligence and PhotographyThe beginning of the book lays the groundwork of how we got to our current state, with a primer on current photography technology and an introduction to the world of artificial intelligence. AI is introduced in easy to understand scenarios that help anyone understand the general concepts explored later in the book.Artificial Intelligence in Photo Hardware and Software
The next section of the book includes several chapters on how AI assists with image capture in various camera scenarios, how it can assist us in retouching and other image editing work, and how AI is simplifying the sometimes-daunting tasks involved with managing, searching, and maintaining our image library. Discussions include technologies available today with an eye towards possibilities coming in the near-future.The Future of PhotographyFinally, multiple chapters explore how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of photography. Theres an exploration of the various moral and ethical issues which have come to light through the application of photo-centric AI technology. Readers will learn about the possibilities of AI-generated artwork. And the book wraps up with a look at what artificial intelligence may mean for the future of the photographer themselves. Will AI mean theyre automated out of a job, or will the photographic role continue in new forms. Time will tell, but the author makes some educated predictions.

1. Welcome to the Third Shift
I got married in the year 2000.
It was a fairly traditional wedding. As such, we engaged in the fairly traditional activity of hiring a professional wedding photographer. We met with several folks in the area and made our selection. Digital photography was new at the time and while some folks were experimenting, all the "real" photographers were still working with film. The expectation was that serious photographers used film and delivered prints, and you hired a professional because only professionals had the gear, skill, and resources to make high-quality images.
My, how things have changed.
The world of popular photography has seen significant changes that have altered the photographic landscape for casual photo hobbyists, advanced amateurs, and professional photographers alike. As we look toward the future, with computers and photography becoming ever-intertwined, we are in the early stages of a third big shift in the photographic worlds related to these two subjects.
Let's explore the previous two shifts and how they've set us up for today.
Hello Internet
For all but the youngest of this books readers, we remember the photography of our childhood consisting of a variety of print products. Our dad had pictures of us and our siblings in his wallet. Images from the family road trip were printed and stored in plastic pages of a photo album that lived on a bookshelf or the coffee table. At family events, a group picture was taken and copies were shared (often sent through the US mail) to relatives everywhere, whether theyd been in attendance or were in a wish you were here situation. Our latest school portrait would hang in the hallway or be placed in a frame on a shelf.
Casual distribution of photographs involved making physical prints and then getting those tangible items to the recipient. It worked well for folks in the same house or town but was challenging for those across the country or around the world. If my parents photographed my sister making an especially big mess of her dinner as a baby, it was a bit of work to share those images with distant relatives.
And then the internet happened.
In the 1990s, proprietary online services such as Prodigy, CompuServe, and America Online gave way to the open internet, and folks in the western world got connected. This access originally came in the form of (relatively slow) dial-up modem access. Who among us doesnt wax nostalgic for the screeching modem tones? Have we forgotten the experience of being disconnected because someone in another part of the house picked up the telephone? The phone-based dial-up modems gave way to DSL and then cable modems as broadband internet access became part of mainstream life.
The Pew Research Center first started measuring United States internet use in 2000, when it found that half of all adults regularly used the internet. That number grew to 90% in 2019 (with 73% on broadband), and Id wager that for folks who are seriously into photography, the number is really close to 100%.
The first big shift in modern photography came when mainstream internet usage made it easy to distribute our pictures.
Even before digital cameras arrived on the scene, photography enthusiasts used scanners to digitize their images onto the computer, and it was then possible to send them anywhere in the world via email. Message boards and early websites made it easy to share work with a broader (and more public) audience.
In the early 2000s, entire communities and companies sprung up around the new world of online photo sharing. Beyond sharing our work with family and friends, these online systems allowed us to connect with other photographers. Flickr was the largest of these communities; there was a point where nearly anyone into photography in any way had a Flickr account and shared their work on the service.
Ten years prior, casual image sharing meant making prints, putting them in an envelope, and waiting for the postal service. Thanks to the internet, it could now be done in a couple of minutes with a few clicks of the mouse.
Digital Cameras Everywhere
If we go back thirty years, one of the things that helped set professional photographers (and the serious hobbyists) apart from average folks was that making great photos required some fairly exclusive gear. Options were limited, and if one wanted to make the best images, it required a hefty investment.
In short, truly serious camera gear wasnt easily accessible to a person who wasnt into photography as their full-time profession.
The first digital cameras that made decent photos were in the same price category, making them only accessible to professionals or those with a lot of disposable income for a hobby. They werent accessible to everyday folks. But like everything in the world of computing, the cost of the technology dropped over time, and eventually we hit a breakthrough in 2003 when Canon released its model 300D, known in the United States as the Digital Rebel. The release of the original Digital Rebel marked the turning point in making high-quality, interchangeable-lens digital cameras accessible to serious photographic hobbyists. For less than $1000, we had a decent digital SLR available that could use Canon's existing lineup of lenses and accessories. After this camera from Canon, we quickly saw similar models show up from Nikon; these two companies DSLRs gained a lot of popularity within a few years.
