First photographers were creating portraits of people that don’t exist, now Aurel Manea has created a series of “landscape photos” using a new artificially intelligent (AI) software program called Stable Diffusion.
Manea tells PetaPixel that he has been blown away by what the London and Los Altos-based startup Stability AI has created.
“I can’t, as a landscape photographer myself, emphasize enough what these new technologies will mean for photography,” explains Manea.
“Of course, they are not real photos and they only resemble real places (for now, as the input data becomes larger and larger) but for most of the people that consume the images, it is only about the beauty of those images.”
It is open source software, but only has access on request to researchers for now, until its public release.
