It is said that the genetic origins of modern humans can be traced back to a woman, Mitochondrial Eve, in Africa 160,000 years ago. Since then, my genes have been formed through 6,500 generations of interbreeding. If we compare this to “deep learning,” the 23,000 genetic parameters of mitochondrial Eve in the input layer have passed through 6,500 intermediate layers to generate my identity in the output layer. Based on my former proof photo, 100 Eve's and 100 Adam's were generated by the image generation AI. She, they, too, are nothing but descendants of mitochondrial Eve. These may not be recognized as “photographs” in the current situation, but they are certainly an extension of the history of the expansion of the meaning and function of photography.
