There is no difference between ai slop and photoshopped fakery except the time spent to create it.
I'm old enough to remember when Photoshopping was the big evil that destroyed truth.
Except there is literally 1000000 times more AI slop exactly because it is faster to create. There is more AI slop on the internet than human generated stuff now, and this factor will only increase.
There is no comparison to photoshopping here. It is an entirely different situation.
Time and skill (and quality of the output) are huge differences.
