Photoshop can't produce anything on its own; unlike AI, it needs a human to control each step of the process. AI generates statistically-likely text to follow a human prompt with no further intervention required by the human. And this lack of intervention means there is no human QC to ensure the statistically likely text meets any criteria for stylistic, semantic or logical correctness.

Does this possibly include proofreading, editing, etc? Or does the AI automagically upload its content as soon as a human inputs a prompt?

You truly didn't read the comment you replied to:

Yes, editing is still a thing, but all the crap content producers and SEO junkies jumping on the generative AI bandwagon and slathering AI-generated content across the Web can't possibly proofread all the content they're publishing - that would be counterproductive to their goal of producing as much content as fast as possible.
