AntiAI Artists: Photoshop Has Been Using AI
📌 The Irony of Anti‑AI Artists: Photoshop Has Been Using AI for Years
There’s a strange kind of irony in today’s art community.
Some people loudly criticize Artificial Intelligence, call it “cheating,” “lazy,” or “not real art”…
Yet they use Photoshop, a software that has been powered by AI for years — and now depends on it more than ever.
Let’s be clear:
👉 If you use modern Photoshop, you are using AI. Period.
Since the launch of Adobe Firefly in 2023, and the introduction of the Photoshop AI Assistant in 2024–2026, the software has transformed into a fully AI‑enhanced creative tool.
Most of the features people rely on every day — often without realizing it — are driven by advanced machine‑learning models.
So criticizing AI while using Photoshop is like criticizing electricity while turning on the lights.
What Photoshop does today thanks to AI
Generative Fill — expanding or recreating entire parts of an image.
Smart Object Removal — deleting people or objects cleanly in one
