ChatGPT came out in November of 2022, but it didn’t really catch on until GPT 4 in 2024. But the viral “Studio Ghibli” moment in May of 2025 was when AI became truly mainstream, and creatives could no longer ignore it. We’re now on the heels of ChatGPT 5.1, and it’s more clear than ever: there are very real concerns about AI (replacing creatives, ethical issues, etc), but the fact of the matter is that...

It's a relatively new, but incredible app. Weavy is a node-based platform for creating images and video. In a nutshell, each node does a specific thing (eg, create an image with Nano Banana or a video with Kling) and you chain them together to build the workflow you need. There are a...

You've probably seen people talk about "vibe coding." It was original coined by Andrej Karpathy as a tongue-in-cheek term, but it's caught on as a way to refer to the new style of software development where you let AI take the wheel. Essentially, you tell the AI what you want ("an app where I can upload a photo, it adds my watermark, and emails it to my client") and it will do the rest -...

The debate around website builders is a tired one, especially in professional creative circles. There’s a lingering sentiment, a kind of digital-era snobbery, that if you’re a “real” photographer, designer, or artist, you need a website that’s hand-coded, endlessly complex, or at least built on a platform that requires a PhD in plugins and updates to manage. The perception is that tools like Squarespace are for beginners, for hobbyists—not for serious professionals with a discerning...

Midjourney is incredible, full stop. With its v7 model and a polished web interface, it’s a creative powerhouse that has set the bar for quality and aesthetic. For a long time, it’s been the undisputed king of AI image generation (and still is IMO). But if you’re on a budget, it may not be an option when the “Mega Plan” is $1,152 a year. That said, if you’re a pro, you’re not just looking for...

You’ve probably seen a million headlines about "Meta AI." But what may have gotten lost in the shuffle is that there’s an actual app called Meta AI - and that it’s essentially a free version of Midjourney, the incredibly powerful image generation app. And when I say that it's a version of MidJourney, I don't mean Meta knocked it off. I mean it's literally built on MidJourney's technology: they announced a formal partnership between the...

AI image generation tools have been bubbling for a while, but they truly exploded into the mainstream when the "Studio Ghibli" filter trend went viral, powered by the release of ChatGPT-4. Since then, it’s been impossible to ignore the flood of new apps like Midjourney, ComfyUI, Higgsfield, etc - all capable of creating stunning, surreal, and sometimes bizarre images from a simple text prompt. The latest name in this conversation is Nano Banana Pro (Google's...

The rise of generative AI isn't just another tech trend, it's a fundamental change in the creative landscape, a wave that is coming whether we’re ready or not. For photographers, videographers, and visual artists, this can feel unsettling. The conversation is often framed around fear and replacement, but that’s the wrong way to look at it. This isn’t about a machine replacing the artist. It's about the artist gaining a new set of profoundly powerful...
