Kiss the sky!

Is there such a thing as a landscape that is just too damn unattractive to photograph in its natural state? Too bad if you happen to live in such a place! But wait! Help is on the way. We now have sky replacement technologies driven by artificial intelligence that are actually pretty convincing. 

Personally, I don't believe that anywhere is too ugly to be photographed, but I happened to be out on a cloudless day, which kind of stinks because, you know, a good photograph demands an interesting sky, and so why not spice things up a little bit by adding one with a couple of mouse clicks? Of course, we've been manipulating photos basically since the dawn of photography, so no judgement, but this is just so darn easy to do. 

Personally, I'm more interested in the upcoming body replacement and age reduction technologies.
