But Ai can also do it “correctly”, and humans can also do a terrible photoshop job, you need to be skilled to be able to use it correctly. It also has a host of automated correction tools, which is indistinguishable from Ai.
Ai isn’t the problem with this issue, it’s the editing itself.

Human editing is a problem too, but AI is making the edits more commonplace and harder to notice. Any policy changes should therefore bar both types of editing, but AI edits are a far greater threat because one doesn’t need to be skilled to make them.
