How does one get an Ili Pika to pose for a social media influencer photoshoot?

In the vast and rugged landscape of the Tianshan Mountains in China, a tiny creature roams amidst the rocky terrain—the Ili Pika (Ochotona iliensis). Often referred to as the “magic rabbit” or “stone rabbit,” the Ili Pika is a rare and elusive species that captivates the hearts of all who encounter it. In this article, we embark on a whimsical journey to explore how one might entice an Ili Pika…

SHOULD WE BE USING PRESETS?

Let me show you two photographs: Prouts Neck, Maine, USA, original photograph as taken. Prouts Neck, Maine, USA, photograph after being modified with a Preset available within ON1 PhotoRAW 2024 Can I really claim that the second photo is mine? Was I the photographer who created the image that you see? Have I departed from true photography by using a Preset created by someone else? Or doesn’t…

I think we as humans need to realize how privileged we are to be born into a human body.

Sure, I've seen a lot of people wishing how they could be a cat, dog or wolf just so they could be cute and taken care of and relax all day.

But let's remember that most non-human animals aren't so privileged.

Not only are pets often neglected and abused, but if you had been born into the body of a fish, a pig, a cow, a chicken?

Your life is seen as worthless - a means to an end. Fish are often not even regarded as living sentient beings, just decorations or food.

Pigs get their tails cut off, chickens get their beaks cut, often living in their own shit and piss. Cows get their babies stolen so you can drink their breast milk or eat cheese. And at the end of the day their lives are ended by being gassed, electrocuted, having their throat slit.

Thank your lucky stars for being born into the human body because your life could've been much much worse.

i think image gen can be used like any other artistic tool but I don't really think the big commerical proponents of "ai" are advertising it as a tool, they're adertising it as a solution. I also think it's intellectually dishonest to argue that image generation is exactly like "using photoshop/taking a photograph" because of some generalized "those were also criticized at their conception for being new and scary and disruptive" soundbite. they were not even really criticized for the same reasons. find a better argument.
