Nowadays, all digital media is becoming AI:
Doesn't mean "generative AI", but spotting the difference is only going to become harder and harder.
I think you're conflating "AI" with media processing. In most photo/video editing software that support it, you can use AI as a tool, but all it's really doing is cutting down on the time it would take to do some tasks manually. That doesn't mean it's "AI" any more than it's "AI" to crop a photo. Even film negatives need to be processed before anyone can see the photo.
I'm not saying AI good or bad, but I think it's disingenuous to say that using AI to say, colour-correct an image or denoise a video, makes that image/video "AI"
I'm saying AI is being shoved into all steps of media processing.
Let me illustrate: this is an AI-focused, AI-corrected, AI-remastered, AI-lifted sticker of a photo of my cat... AI-cropped from a screenshot... that got AI-moderated the moment I uploaded it here.
