Here's something that happened yesterday:
My wife photoshopped a person's head onto another photo to make a funny image. Many of us have done something similar.
But here's the thing I noticed: she was laughing and giggling the WHOLE time she was making it. It was 20 minutes of pure fun.
Could she have made a better image in a fraction of the time using generative AI? Of course.
But often the journey is the reward.
And all of the folks who are promoting this technology just don't get that.
