I am a luddite. What's wrong with that? I don't believe that all technology is bad, but that AI has reached a stage sufficient so that the order of magnitude of the changes it can affect are too damaging for humanity. I do believe that AI has become advanced enough to pose such a risk to us.

Some creative people are using these technologies, and while it is quite human guided NOW, at some point, the guidance that humans put into it will lessen. That's not to say that AI will ever produce a work like Dostoevsky --- maybe it won't, but it WILL be enough to eliminate most creative jobs, and reduce them to being at most being supervised by people who don't have much of a passion for creative works. And that's a shame, because it will remove the passion of creativity from society.

Generative fill: I don't use it, and that's part of my personal ban. It goes too far. I only use traditionl editing techniques in my photography that works with basically what is there.

Yes, you can say that photography has always been about manipulation, but basically, I have a personal line that I believe I can define sufficiently well, that is far behind the line of AI.
