So, a beautiful 2026 is ahead of us\u2026\u2026 now what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think the first big idea is, moving forward, I\u2019m insanely optimistic about 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erickimworkshops.com –> I just added to the calendar<\/a>:\ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n 🔥 PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA \u2014 JUNE 26 \/ 27 \/ 28 And even insane\u2026 I just use ChatGPT Pro, the $200 a month version to create a sizzle reel to promote the workshops, and it looks insanely good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Video sizzle reel >\ufffc\ufffc<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the first very optimistic thought I have is AI for photographers, the big idea I have is AI is not a replacement, but essentially your photography on steroids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019ll give you another example\u2026 Let us say that your mother-in-law tasks you with digging up a big hole to get rid of roots of a big tree in the backyard\u2026 But she just gives you a tiny kids shovel. Or you have the option of having a real stainless steel shovel. Or better yet, one of those mini caterpillar excavators. Which would you choose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the analogy is like AI. The big idea is with AI, you can simply do things a lot easier and more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or let us say that, I want you to go from LA to Phnom Penh Cambodia, \u2026 and, I want you to rule a boat. Would you rather take the $450 one-way airline, with some noise canceling Bose headphones, or paddle yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n And also as a note just keep updated\u2026 I\u2019m planning a Zoom online AI photography workshop February this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So there\u2019s a very very interesting thought from Marc Andreesen, who says that software is eating the world. I think he meant now to say that AI is eating the world<\/strong>.\ufffc<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is kind of hilarious, we are willing to sell out $8000 USD on some sort of overpriced Leica Q Camera, which I just consider a panasonic lumix with a body kit, \ufffc\u2026 just get the Lumix S9 instead \u2026 yet, we had the idea of paying $200 a month to like create 100 of yous?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assuming that you use ChatGPT pro a lot, it\u2019s only like paying seven bucks a day to like augment yourself 1000 X?<\/p>\n\n\n\n So some photography AI ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everyone wants an unfair advantage. But, AI is actually very very ethical and fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ERIC KIM BLOG<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
