    Nah, fuck 'em. Either “Take better photos” or “Made with AI”. If you don’t have the dedication to sit there until the shot is perfect, why not just generate the whole thing?

    Someone else has been to the pyramids anyway.

      pretty sure it will tag it as ai even if you just use something like generative fill to remove a blemish

      its been done for years without ai, ai just makes it quicker, better, and easier

      and sit there until the shot is perfect? sure you can do that with the pyramids, cand do that in the streets. or maybe you’re shooting a car and you dont notice a minor imperfection in the paint. what, you want them to just trash the whole set of pics?

        Again, point being “Do it yourself or get the tag.” I don’t care if Gen Fill is just Content Aware Fill with less steps. It’s an AI tool.

        I know plenty of professional photographers who would just use the shot as is. Not everything needs to be studio perfect every time, just take pictures of reality. Angle, composition, lighting, subject - those all matter so much more than the one out of place freckle you need the AI button to remove.

        If I use a flash and then tell everyone “I didn’t use flash, just momentary lighting!” not only am I stupid, I used a flash. Gen Fill is AI. Use the clone and stamp tool or accept your badge of shame.
