Photography has had such a positive impact on my life. As I’ve had the opportunity to capture proposals for many friends or family members, photography has brought me closer to the people I care about. I showed up to NYC and didn’t know a single person in the NYC tech ecosystem. Offering free photography got me into rooms and events I didn’t belong in, and helped a small town kid from Michigan build an elite network. Most importantly, it has helped me remember life more vividly. When I look back on photos I have captured, I can remember a moment from years past like it has just happened. I have truly felt that a picture is worth 1000 words. Knowing that, I can confidently tell you this - no matter how good AI gets, I will never write prompts to generate my wedding photos or video. …
Photography has had such a positive impact on my life. As I’ve had the opportunity to capture proposals for many friends or family members, photography has brought me closer to the people I care about. I showed up to NYC and didn’t know a single person in the NYC tech ecosystem. Offering free photography got me into rooms and events I didn’t belong in, and helped a small town kid from Michigan build an elite network. Most importantly, it has helped me remember life more vividly. When I look back on photos I have captured, I can remember a moment from years past like it has just happened. I have truly felt that a picture is worth 1000 words. Knowing that, I can confidently tell you this - no matter how good AI gets, I will never write prompts to generate my wedding photos or video. I want to see real moments. There are aspects and moments of life, where love tends to be involved, that AI will never replace. Cooks won’t write prompts to cook dinner. Makeup artists will never write prompts to do their makeup. Carpenters won’t write prompts to build a house. The list goes on. No matter how good generative AI becomes these people will continue to do what they love, and more and more of them will film it. As generative AI floods the internet with synthetic video (which I do believe is a new art form in itself), people will crave the real thing. More than ever, I think we’ll want to see real stories made out of real footage, made by real people. The problem is that making real videos is now harder than generating synthetic ones. Today that changes. We built Clik to help people make real videos out of real footage, 10X faster. As of today, anyone that has a phone and knows how to write can create videos. I explain how in this video. What are you going to make?
