Why AI image editing isn’t “just like Photoshop”

I think if we're talking about this specific conversation, there's definitely a line. If we're saying Photoshop itself, that was a revolutionary technology, right? That was what we're saying kicked all of this off on a digital aspect. Photo manipulation existed for way longer than that, but that was incredibly difficult. That wasn't just technical know-how, that was physical skills.

Why AI image editing isn’t “just like Photoshop”

You had to know how to cut tiny little film rolls and be able to manipulate them in magnified kind of situations, whereas Photoshop enabled you to do that without having to have all the expensive tools.

Why AI image editing isn’t “just like Photoshop”

There's a difference between almost manipulating something that had substance to begin with and just creating something that is a complete false reality. It never existed to begin with. And there's something to be said about intent there, which is why I think accessibility is one of the more significant concerns. Because even if you wanted to Photoshop an image or something, I don't know, like,

a lion in a playground or something, again, nefarious, you would usually do so for a giggle. Are you really going to have that much effort to learn all the necessary skills?
