AI-Generated Skateboarding Photos: Extending the Possibilities
There’s been a recent buzz around AI technology, and Adobe’s latest update to Photoshop has caught the skateboarding community’s attention. With the introduction of the “Generative Fill” feature, which can fill empty spaces in photos, artists and enthusiasts alike are exploring the potential of AI art. Jenkem Magazine decided to experiment with this futuristic feature, using iconic skateboarding photos as a canvas.
Exploring Alternate Universes
Skateboarding’s most iconic photos are often in portrait orientation, with text overlay for covers, advertisements, and more. This presented an opportunity to see what landscape-oriented alternate universes AI could dream up. Although these AI-generated edits required some effort and weren’t as simple as a single click, they demonstrated the ability to fabricate a passable reality.
*DUMBASS DISCLAIMER* While these AI edits may appear convincing, they can never replace the creativity and skill of human skateboarding photographers. Any disagreements can be directed to complaints@jenkemmag.com.
