We spoke with noted photojournalist Michael Christoper Brown about his AI 'post-photography' series which focuses on Cuba.
with fans of his photography outraged; calling him “unethical”, his images “disturbing,” and threatening to unfollow his Instagram account.
“Michael, I have been a fan of your work for years, and have always held you in high regard as a photojournalist,” writes one documentary photographer. “This is something I can’t get behind, especially when it is for profit. Using AI to tell a story you weren’t there to document is one thing in itself, but selling those AI-generated images…sorry, but not sorry. Lost a lot of admiration from me.
Brown attempted to recreate the sinking of the tugboat “13 de Marzo,” a horrific incident in 1994 when 41 Cubans drowned at sea trying to reach the United States. There were allegations that Cuban authorities sank the boat on purpose and then refused to rescue the passengers.“As definitely something more similar to say, a film — something that is based on a true story than actual documentation. I am exploring the possibilities of the AI medium as an artist.
But angry Instagram users are now bombarding his real photos with comments such as “How do we know it’s not AI” and “Best AI yet.”
