Will AI Replace Professional Photographers? Big Cloud Recruitment

The process of setting the aperture, shutter speed and ISO of a hunk of electronics and glass to capture that perfect moment and then rushing home, uploading it to Photoshop, realising it is absolutely rubbish and crying because you wasted 3 hours stood outside in the freezing cold is truly beautiful. But, is artificial intelligence about to change all that? Over the last few weeks I have seen a couple of AI camera accessories that have been released or are in the late stages of development and at first, I was blown away. One of these was an AI-powered speedlite (that big flashy part that sticks out the top of the camera and instantly gives you 100 professional boasting points). As I understand it the device will analyse your subject and the surroundings and then bounce (aim) the flash in order to give you the best lighting possible. The tagline was "professional lighting made easy" or words to that effect.
