Where AI could REALLY help is getting you and your camera in the right place at the right time with the right light to be able to use your skills......
Had a hysterical episode yesterday while being shown how a GoPro could be set to voice commands.

My GoPro expert spent 10mins failing to get it to run ‘GoPro Start”, ‘GoPro Start Filming”, and a dozen permutations of speculative and increasingly louder commands, some of which included profanity….no surprise they didn’t work.

After another 10min of him shouting at his device he managed to get it to start/stop filming and power off to commands.

He couldn’t however get the camera to power on by voice (in hindsight that’s obvious because it has no power ON to do anything yet) But he handed it to me and every time I said power on …it came on. What he didn’t realise…I was manually switching it on as I was commanding it!

All present except him were in hysterics. He just got madder and madder….especially when I told him it was probably AI only recognising a ‘worthy photographer’ to use it.
