That seems totally fine. If he is upfront with clients that images are AI generated/uptouched, not real photos, and that is what they are paying for, that’s just called running a business that innovated a saturated market. He found a way to produce a product and do it cheaper than everyone else.
Does it kinda cheapen out the experience from not capturing “real” memories? Personally I’d say yup. But that is my personal preference and not that of the clients.
Given that he does photos for 10 brides a day and still has free time, he must’ve been upfront about it.
But pretty much all wedding photos are edited, so none of them are real photos.
Bride just doesn’t get to choose how many fingers she has
Or actually have photos of people? Or it actually be her.
Like ai is good, but it’s not going to look like you
With stable diffusion you can use real pictures or parts of real pictures and just let AI make up everything around it. It’s not like you’re generating the whole picture. You could, but it wouldn’t be useful for wedding pictures.
Then again it’s a greentext and as we all know: everything on the internet is true.
Photoshop has this stuff built in too nowadays, I believe.
Yup, true and certainly not gay.
Eh a good or even average Lora will make a very good image of a real person that’s close to indistinguishable
Brides paying for that is the real problem, not the fact that anon photographer is profiting off it.
I make their weddings look like their pinterest dreams, they can look as skinny and hot as they want
The only folks who are losing anything here are photoshoppers.
Why bother with the wedding at all? Just sit on the couch alone and swipe through fake pictures of someone who doesn’t even look like you at a wedding that never happened! That’s where the real savings kick in!
On the plus side, at least Anon can now dispell any rumors about his love life with photos of his TOTALLY REAL marriage to his 14 year old waifu who is actually an 800 year old wizard!
I’m wondering the same thing, and want to believe the story is fake.
Our wedding wasn’t super fancy, but why would I want fake pictures of something that never happened? It doesn’t make sense to me at all
even better, anyone can have equally bland photos of marrying whoever they want! your creepy stalker can imagine himself marrying you too!
Lol, keep doing it, they should adapt. Stable diffusion is literally free.
Ai is cringe
Money is not cringe, however.
Money is kinda cringe tbh
Says anyone without money. If it were so cringe more people would be giving it up when they recieve it but noone ever really likes giving it up once it’s been had.
I have money though? And give some of it away. Hasn’t helped my dating life
No overhead, no cameras.
So if he isn’t taking any pictures at all he must just be getting face pics from brides and using them as part of a prompt?
Each to their own but personally I don’t understand why someone would do this. To my mind the purpose of a picture is so that you can look back at something that happened in the past or show others who weren’t there.
I could understand it being fun to mess around with an AI yourself and make those kinds of pics if they’re the type of thing you’re into. But are people getting pics like OP is making and sharing them? Hanging them on their wall? Pretending they were real? I find that quite sad.
Yeah I understand your opinion. But then you know how scummy the wedding industry is. A flower that costs $10, suddenly costs $200 because it’s a bridal flower or whatever
From what I hear it’s three factors: increased quality control because the customer is less likely to brush things off for their wedding, increased customer service because they will use more of your time and energy and take shit out on you, and finally because they can everyone else is doing it
I mean, this is posted on 4chan, so I’m skeptical. It could work, I guess.
