I am absolutely LOVING the work of portrait photographer Harry Boden on YouTube. Some really fascinating insights into Famous People, but more than these are great little exposés of how a brilliant photographer approaches his work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Ty....

Correct I think. Likewise brands that use AI-generated imagery are visually illiterate and don't/won't/can't understand what gives Actually Good visuals their power.
Contention for discussion: people who think AI generates copy that’s as good and effective as something a writer would create just never had good reading comprehension in the first place.
