which AI have to use to replace those white flowers with the right side flowers
This design was done with CorelDraw and Photo Paint.Just for fun.
AI will be used continually; it currently is fast and crappy, specifically if the end result will be printed on media and has some physical size to it. I sat with a Photoshop user using the remove AI feature on a 48 megapixel (full frame Nikon camera image at 200 DPI that 40" high x 60" wide) she thought it looked great on screen. I had her crop out a section of the final effect and print it at 50%, a size that this company regularly prints. The result that looked great to her on screen now looked like hell in print because the removed object was in an area that was 5" wide x 9" high, leaving an odd looking area that was clearly visible at 4 feet!
AI has it's uses, up sampling is an area that I use it for regularly and if you get a good quality low resolution image you can expect to get an additional 300 to 500% increase.
I'm currently testing AI blur, denoise and sharpen stand alone and plug-in applications. I have tried depth of field (bokeh) filters, but they only work for those who have no concept of what lens created focal field bokeh really is. Adobe just posted a YouTube video for Photoshop, advertising this effect and the image was such BS. The object of focus was so far from the background a dime store lens could have done a good job of creating a quality blur.
Attached is a natural bokeh.
David Milisock said: AI features will be used to abuse people.
Exactly.
It's unfortunate but people editing images or creating graphics for the web in my area can make better money and benefits working in the fast food industry.
In 5 years there will hardly be anyone who can recognize, create or edit quality images, in 10 years, in general practice there won't be anyone who can even recognize a quality image.
Look at the web sites for Photoshop, Affinity Photo, PaintShop Pro, then look at the photographer sites. WOW!
In the last 5 years, in my semi-retirement I've been focusing on my hobby in photography and applying the standards of my 30+ years editing architectural images I have witnessed a cataclysmic drop in on line quality. Look at the Faccebook page Peter Coulson Community, you'll see the work of many photographers. Then take a look at the past work of Deverill Weeks as examples.
There is a plethora of new sites with just awful work, near zero sites demonstrating core technology and techniques. Way too many marketing sites!!!
I think the primary motive for software companies developing AI is race to the bottom economics. Help employers reduce payroll. Companies like Adobe, Corel or anyone else in this AI race might want to take a moment and realize the AI toys they're building might just end up gutting their customer base. After all, why would an actual graphic designer need to spend hours manually creating a project in CorelDRAW when a boss/client can just click a button and "poof" the finished project into existence? Why buy or subscribe to CorelDRAW at all if some amateur can crank out something "good enough" with an AI bot?
With a deep enough embrace of AI functions we can tank the entire economy. 70% of it is driven by consumer spending. There is no escape from that math fact. If enough people get their jobs down-sized or eliminated the customer base will vanish. Every "consumer" needs a job paying a livable wage with enough spare income left over after basic expenses in order for him to "buy stuff."
But that's okay. Since America has priced the cost of parenthood out of reach for so many working class people our demographic future is going to be pretty grim. Both working age employees and consumers will be in short supply 20 years from now. The software wizards out there will need focus their AI efforts to help take care of many millions of elderly people.
I agree AI could end up making us dumber. Non-artists are already using it as both a crutch and a scam. AI is killing software coding jobs. I think that's scary. 10 years ago it would have been a good idea for a young person to learn coding languages like JavaScript, Python, etc. Thanks to AI that kind of career path no longer makes as much sense. The result of that will be a brain drain in the software development field. Things like bugs and security flaws will become harder to fix, thanks to a reduced talent base.
I wish that you were wrong!
To understand what will happen to the image editing industry we only need look from the varied standpoints to what has resulted with the reduction in the number of printers.
From a consumer standpoint it's very difficult to find quality print work, the more discerning your taste the more difficult it is.
From a printers standpoint it's difficult to establish a clint base that not only wants quality work, but a base that knows what it looks like. Also finding staffing that has the skill set.
In my area most printers have moved to a niche workflow, like ad pamphlets, medical packaging or an assortment of niche work, doo dads, promotional materials, apparel, low end ink jet work/signage.
Just look at the malformed heads on images today.

I see the AI fad as just another step in the long process of the graphic design industry being de-professionalized. 40 years ago, when most design and production work was done using traditional analog tools, anyone wanting to enter the graphic design field usually needed a degree and/or serious formal training.
Ever since the days of the "desktop publishing revolution" started in the late 1980's the need for employees with formal education and training slowly declined. Wage scales have followed in the decline as well. The pool of workers in this field has transformed to where the majority are entirely self-taught. The "profession" aspect of the graphic design field has already been in a comatose state for a long time. The AI gold rush will help put the profession into its grave.
All sorts of unintended consequences could result from this. One of the reasons why America dominates both world popular culture and technological innovation is our creativity. The software industry and business elites are steadily ruining every creative industry we have in this country. If people can't make a living doing any of that stuff our nation's creative output will continue to erode. This nation's peak era could already be in the rear view mirror and we might be facing grim and unpredictable decades ahead.
This nation has been in decline for over a decade. We see it in our industry with images with deformed people. Do you remember the image of Reese Witherspoon with 3 legs? Kati Curic lost about 35 pounds in one image!
A major factor is the percentage of web viewing being done on the phone and tablets, you could hide a dead cow in the image and most would miss it. The result of the last years of our educational system is a base of stupid cows, falling off cliffs taking selfies, living their lives with their hands out!
