Opinions????

Um, I brought this up 2 years ago. It seemed that most were saying, "Nothing to look at here. Just move along."

I'm opposed to using AI in a photoshop contest...but...well, we'll just move along

Yes Eve, thanks, i recall that thread, main difference now is that more choppers are now using AI than before.

AI is now part of the editing process

It's here to stay, but we should all learn how to recognize it.

Easy, perfect cutouts and pasting and harmonization

Strange eyes, many many fingers, supernumerary limbs...
Which leaves us something to do to make the pic better

Most AI has a "Look" to it, if you have to ask "is it AI" as many have done, then you're not experienced enough to recognize it, aside from the 6 fingers stuff and weird faces, limbs, etc. Some AI programs don't have those problems anymore, but still have a look to it that's not totally photographic.
I entered a contest here 3 years ago with a background I rendered on my phone on one of the earlier AI programs, and no one questioned it, or was probably even aware of it.

ps. I checked the archives, that entry won 1st.
