237.No Filters-Just You with Deborah Johnson

In the past decades, we wouldn’t consider most professional photos without some touching up or without or with no filters taken on a camera. Going back to the 1800’s, photographers and artists would hand-color monochrome photos. This process lasted through mid 19th century. As technology developed, changes could be airbrushed, taking away blemishes, modifying colors and even changing body shapes. The process was done by artists or photographers for magazines and other types of media.

Today, this process has been transformed to most anyone who has a phone or computer. Photos with no filters are posted millions of times a day all over the world. But there are many that are also posted with filters that can change hair color, complexions, add makeup and transform a person taking a selfie in their backyard to a remote location around the world.

Now enter Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) with the ability to generate realistic fake video and other media and life becomes even more complicated in many ways.

Here, I want to focus on how living with no filters embraces a genuine and unvarnished approach to various aspects of life, though there should be some boundaries.
