The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust released a statement today SLAMMING the display of an #AI-processed version of Ansel Adams‘ photograph, “Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico”, at an Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) exhibition.
Cleverly, the Trust didn’t criticize the image‘s submitter, Jamez Danzinger, for using AI, but that he used AI to rip off Ansel Adams’ work (I think this is clever because ripping off other people’s work is pretty much *core* to the way AI image generation works, and really is its original sin against the artist community). Danzinger was apparently trying to parlay this image into promoting his new “using AI to colorize classic photos” business venture.
