AI cannot replace photography as many genres require on-field expertise. Photographers are essential for:

• Capturing real-life events (e.g., natural disasters, cultural festivals).
• Documenting authentic wildlife moments.
• Adding the human touch in studio shoots.

While AI may assist in areas like product and fashion photography, it cannot fully replicate a photographer's expertise, making photography a stable career choice.
