Do you have similar objections to image editors that are able to do a rectangular crop?

You assume that the new one would replace the original.

It’s digital, both would exist. This simply makes it easier to do something people have done manually since the invention of the photograph, or even prior with print.

It’s the equivalent of scissors or a razor blade but automated. It’s not even the first ML based solution, and doesn’t do anything that we don’t already do every day for advertising or film.

It's not a new technique but more accessible and easier to use and it get integrated into the photo apps.

You assume that people keep photos they don't want, especially if they show "flaws" they don't like.

Okay? Again this has been doable for ages.

You’re making an appeal to “authenticity” that hasn’t been true for probably longer than any of us on here have been alive.

It's not about the possibility but the ease of use. ChatGPT doesn't do something new too, text were written before, but know it easier and faster for more people.
