Without the use of a camera, people can now collaborate with artificial intelligence systems to generate images in seconds that can simulate photographs, depicting people and places that never existed while transforming our sense of the real. Such systems, including Stability Diffusion, Midjourney, and DALL-E, can produce photorealistic images in response to a text prompt of only a few words, initiating a media revolution that is likely to be even more impactful than the invention of photography in 1839.
