I've only used it a little bit. I appreciate how it can allow you to remove unwanted things from photos. Like I said though, I don't usually think to ever use it.

Really useful, but at the same time - what becomes of the actual image and what makes it different to a completely AI generated one?
On my phone at least it just makes a copy of it. I was thinking about that the other day thought that you are probably uploading the original somewhere. Although, I use Google Photos for backup anyway, so it is already on their servers.
Yeah, I get that. What I mean is that the more changes made to the photo, the less it is actually a photo. May as well generate one using the face of your subject - then they can choose all the other features :D
I understand what you are saying, but to be fair, back before digital photos, it took actual artists to touch up photos. I remember my dad had to send some negatives out to get certain things touched up for the client. At that point is the photo his anymore or the artist that manipulated it. My guess is this debate isn't new, just the format.
Perhaps it isn't solely his, more of a collaborative effort. There was art in the touch up - same with Photoshop skills, as there is plenty of good and bad. The AI touchups though, even if better, have no skill of a human in it - other than perhaps the coder, but even that is questionable these days :)
Eventually there will be a point where the AI is considered the artist. Maybe anyway.
