In the AI era: what happens to Jurugambar

Mixed

Kesan AI terhadap jurugambar bercampur: kerja fotografi asas dan pasca pemprosesan dikompresi automasi, tetapi AI memperkasakan ekspresi kreatif dan kecekapan komersial; kerjasama manusia-mesin menjadi norma baharu. Peratusan tinggi pekerja bebas memerlukan jurugambar secara aktif menerima alat dan memperkukuh jenama peribadi.
