“What AI will never be able to do”
There is something that neither AI, nor deepfakes, nor Photoshop, nor even the smartest smartphone will ever be able to do.
Those tools can never make
any
photograph more
“undoctored”
than it already is.
That means that the most advanced technologies we have cannot add more of the one characteristic that humankind will always prize when viewing the record of “what one person saw, in one small corner of the world, at one unrepeatable moment in time.”
(All TTG-qualified photos are undoctored, as per P2.)
“From TTG’s perspective, AI-generated content is merely the latest way of depicting something other than what the camera saw.”
