Also, nobody would have complained about "content aware face fill", "AI" image edition tools have been standard for ten years in Photoshop

I remember CS2 making big news with the "healing brush", that's like 20 years ago or something like that.

    That wasn’t an AI tool at all, though. Neither is pre-2023 content-aware fill, AFAIK.

    They are both PatchMatch (well the healing brush certainly is), which is a heroic bit of code. Entirely deterministic statistical algorithm. Not AI by really any definition (including back then)

      In my mind, it's as much "AI" as "AI Slate ID" introduced in this release, which I guess was kind of the point of what GP said.

      Probably not you, but on this very forum there are plenty who will argue that LLMs / AI are entirely deterministic and that given enough time, a chisel, and sufficient clay tablets, any AI output can be calculated by hand.

      I don’t know enough about anything to determine which opinion is correct.

      Is AI output not just matrix multiplication and a random seed?
