Is it ethical to clean up photos in this manner with AI? The composition has been fixed. The other person removed from the photo. It’s something we’re able to do with good photoshop skills for years now. It’s a couple of attempts with AI tools to get it right. I Read more…
I’m actually surprised at how well LLMs handle this. I too expected them to be literal, unable to understand a prompt where I tell it to “make it cooler” The LLMs handle it just fine. They make assumptions and try to give you something. You tell it “put the button Read more…
