AI Struggles with Camera Angles: A Look at Generative Model Limitations with Flux-schnell

Generative AI models are revolutionizing the way we create images, but they still face challenges in accurately capturing the nuances of camera positioning. This is crucial for conveying the intended mood, perspective, and impact of a scene. For example, a wide shot from a high angle can evoke a sense of grandeur and heroism, while a close-up shot can create intimacy and tension. This blog post delves into the challenges of camera position in AI-generated images, exploring the reasons behind these limitations and potential solutions for the future.
