Christie’s recent auction, "Augmented Intelligence," showcased AI-generated artworks, fetching $792,000 and raising concerns among photographers about the impact of AI on their livelihoods. Over 6,000 artists signed a letter protesting the auction, arguing that AI models exploit copyrighted works without permission. While some view AI as a new frontier in art, others fear it diminishes the value of traditional photography and may lead to the decline of commercial photography careers.
