You jump on it to take a picture :)
This image was created with AI and I am currently investigating on how to merge my REAL photography with AI. Just follow my tutorials on youtube if you want to see if this AI tools are just an unethical horrible hype, or if there is some parts of it that we photographers could use:

Press release:
Today we are pleased to inform you that the “Creators’ App” is now available.
“Creators’ App” is an app of Sony’s cloud production platform “Creators’ Cloud” for individuals, and the app acts as an extension of a camera to upload, view, and manage photo and video content shot on select Sony cameras, and stored in the cloud.
You can find more details and download “Creators’ App” from the website below.
As for Creators’ Cloud storage, users can enjoy free 5GB of cloud storage for any user with a Sony Account, free 25GB of cloud storage for owners of selected Sony cameras.
*At time of launch, video and image transmission from cameras to cloud via smartphones with the “Creators’ App” and camera remote control functions will be compatible with α7 IV, ZV-1F. Spring 2023: α7R V, FX3, FX30 will need software update respectively.
So the α7R V, FX3, FX30 will get a firmware update in Spring. I am surprised there is no mention of the A1.

You have to check out the new Benro Theta tripod features on Kickstarter (Click here). Impressive for sure!
This is a quick video that shows what it can do:
I am a big user of Topaz Photo AI. I constantly use it to upscale my photos and my AI generated images I post on my Instagram account. And it now got a big update that brings the following improvements:
You can now access a new basic brush to manually refine auto-detected subjects:
You’ll also notice that softness / feathering is applied all at once instead of per stroke. Because the brush is for subject refinement rather than precise selection, it’s intended to be fast, simple, and easy instead of a comprehensive painting tool.
You can now select Topaz Photo AI in the Apple Photos Edit → Extensions (…) menu:
Note: don’t use the right-click → Edit In menu because TPAI will open in standalone mode, which will prevent the finished image from automatically appearing in Apple Photos.
The Crop tool now always stays centered and works more intuitively than before:
You can now manually adjust Enhance Resolution parameters for more control over upscaling results:
These settings describe the input image rather than the strength of the effect. In other words, for each image there’s a perfect combination of optimal values that Autopilot tries to detect. If you feel like Autopilot’s not doing a good job, you can now experiment with them yourself:
Please let us know if you see Autopilot consistently misapplying settings for certain images.
v1.1.9 introduced a Face Recovery issue that caused unintentionally blurry output with smaller faces. This is now resolved:
Also, Face Recovery strength now defaults to 80 instead of 100, which leads to more natural results without visible compromise in recovery strength. We’ll continue investigating other known Face Recovery issues in the Roadmap.
