Also, nobody would have complained about "content aware face fill", "AI" image edition tools have been standard for ten years in Photoshop
I remember CS2 making big news with the "healing brush", that's like 20 years ago or something like that.
That wasn’t an AI tool at all, though. Neither is pre-2023 content-aware fill, AFAIK.
They are both PatchMatch (well the healing brush certainly is), which is a heroic bit of code. Entirely deterministic statistical algorithm. Not AI by really any definition (including back then)
