It’s a minor thing in the grand scheme but I actually hate that generative AI has ruined the art of the hasty Photoshop. The fact that it was done in five minutes before the discussion moves on so it looks like shit was 100% part of the appeal, and clankers have destroyed that little bit of internet culture.
Do you mainly mean outside of meme/shitpost/adjacent communities? They absolutely know the value of the aesthetic, so I think you can count on it sticking around in some circles at least.
I don’t consider AI images art, so I use them instead of Photoshop
I would posit many of the edits people do with Photoshop ARE art; unlike AI slop.
