Professional digital editors who have existed for decades take days to to touch up photos for press releases.

Fucking morons on the Internet in 2026: is this AI??

I would say inexperienced, not morons. I didn't assume AI, but it did feel edited. To younger people who have more experience with ai edits vs professional editing, they're just going off what they know.

If you assume everything is AI because it's doesn't quite look perfect, even if it's just a picture being taken because professional photography exists... You're a fucking moron and you should be called out for it.

Has nothing to do with inexperience. If you assume everything is AI you're an idiot.
