Oliver Fiegel, a Munich-based photographer, expresses concern over the impact of generative AI on his profession. After 18 years in photography, Fiegel struggles to make a living due to clients increasingly opting for cheaper AI-generated visuals. He highlights a specific example in a national newspaper where an AI-created image has glaring flaws. As work dries up, Fiegel is contemplating new career paths, such as opening a natural wine bar. This sentiment is echoed across the industry as AI threatens many creative jobs in advanced economies.
The rise of generative AI tools is changing working life for better or worse amid seismic economic shifts.
Fiegel feels his craft is being undermined as generative AI, which is cheaper and quicker, replaces human photographers.
