I am a professional photo editor for a major magazine. Despite what the title sounds like, I spend much of my day sending photographers on assignment and sourcing images rather than manipulating files. I often wonder how my career will evolve in ten years; the writing is on the wall for my job, given the state of the media market.

Looking at this, I now see a future as a forensic imaging specialist. At some point, the algorithm will get pretty damn good, and it will be my job to look for tells -- cracks in the generated image where reality doesn't quite line up. The question will be whether I am seeking out these abnormalities to cover them up or to call them out.
