The Role of Photojournalists that Cannot Be Replaced by Artificial Intelligence

The profession of a photojournalist has become an inseparable part of the media industry for many years providing soulful images that can strengthen news and depict actual events visually. Even though the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can create images automatically, the existence of the photojournalist profession cannot be replaced because physical presence at a location can provide dimensions of emotion, human experience, and actuality that cannot be provided by AI. Even though AI can contribute in the form of interesting images, it still has weaknesses in terms of visual reality because the role of photojournalists as sensitive observers of the combination of feeling, taste, humanity, and visual experience will always be relevant and cannot be replaced in the media industry.
