I like this image but hadnât posted it, mostly because there was a sliver of a personâs head poking out behind the woman and it really annoyed me. Figuring I would scrap it, I gave Photoshopâs generative fill a chance to remove the face, thinking it wouldnât do a great job because of all the hair and building texture involved. It was nearly perfectly removed on the first try.
I continue to have complicated feelings towards Ai, however, it is clear itâs not going away. Itâs also clear many jobs will be going away as a result (I still think, while the creative job losses are most obvious now, it will be the non-creative job losses that will really change society in ways we canât yet imagine). Iâm not making any profound statements here. Everyone knows this, but figured Iâd post it as a quiet little reminder that I need to get my ass some better Ai training to help me âfixâ my commercial photos.
