Um…

Now, there’s apparently a new camera called “Paragraphica” created by designer, Bjørn Karmann, from the Netherlands, that doesn’t simply take an accurate photo of what you’re aiming it at, but instead, with the help of… (sigh)… AI… from assessing data through GPS location, proximity to other locations, current weather reports, and what time it is, it promises to give you a photo that is probably kind of sort of like what you might be expecting the image, of which you wish to take a photo, to look like.

At least in a roundabout way.

Maybe.

Thanks, AI. You aren’t at all the “Bizarro Superman” version of human intellect and creative expression at the expense of artists’ intellectual property and livelihood like some kind of human artistry meat-grinder in any way whatsoever. Nor are you starting to make basically most situations in the world at least slightly to seriously worse… at all.

Honest, I swear.

To be fair, according to the article at Futurism.com, device creator Bjørn Karmann has explained that he has “no intention of making a product or challenging photography,” and further adds that his artistic intent is actually about “…questioning the role of AI in a time of creative tension.”

(Promises, promises, Bjørn.)
