Does basic photoshop count as AI usage...? What about changing color balance, dynamic range, etc?

Most real estate listing using a type of "HDR" exposure stacking due to the difficulty in taking photos of rooms that exposure the interior correctly and also expose the view from the windows in the same photo. It doesn't show things that aren't there, and personally I see it as acceptable, but I could see some law accidentally making it illegal.
Obviously not, though they may count as misleading image manipulation, and should be similarly regulated. The problem is subjectivity - AI is just a convenient bright line with an easy definition.
I'm not sure the line defining what you would consider AI is actually all that bright. Sharpening? Content-aware fill? Seam carving? Style transfer? How would you define AI to draw the line where you want?
You want the government to monitor people's profiles on dating apps? The ministry of dating photos
Making murder illegal doesn't imply that the government stalks you 24/7 to make sure you don't murder someone

In this context the opposite would be called "trolling" and is not allowed on HN.
That is not even close to trolling. It's called a joke where you exaggerate the premise because it's an amusing thought.
Oi, you got a loicense for that f-stop slop?
I'm sure soon enough dating apps will get smart and instead of the "you have no matches" they will make some fake AI matches so you have a feeling that something is happening and you have a chance of actually meeting someone.
don't they already do that? They used to use real people's photos from other apps. I'm sure they use AI now.
No but we used to call that “photoshopping an image” for a reason, especially when done to an extreme.
