"Jacques Ranciรฉre tells a mythical story about how the separation of signal and noise might have been accomplished in Ancient Greece. Sounds produced by affluent male locals were defined as speech, whereas women, children, slaves, and foreigners were assumed to produce garbed noise. The distinction between speech and noise serves as a kind of political spam filter."

AI is bad for creative reasons I agree but when it could be useful and we assume doesnโt steal someoneโs work, even though I donโt like it or donโt see it in my workflow, we cannot just ignore it for the sake of disliking or else.

Honestly this sounds like a great tool to have.
Angles and polarised filters won't help with everything and the average person is just waving their phone anyway.
Not that I would willingly give money to Adobe mind you.
But it's more useful than moving things around in the photo that everyone has.
