When I edit my photographs, I use an AI image processor called Topaz. I don't consider it cheating at all; it merely removes the pixelation and speckles caused by the digitization process in the first place (in the old days photographers fought 'grain', which is the same sort of thing with similar causes). Similarly, I don't think it's cheating to use AI to change the way the lips more for a speaker being dubbed in another language; it's what they would be doing if they were speaking in that language. And similarly, AI film editors can automate a lot of the tedium of editing, just as AI high dynamic range (HDR) software automatically aligns the three photos being merged to create a single image. There's something like this for every step of the creative process. Our role as creators is shifting from knowing how to do something to deciding what to do.
