I think this is a great example of why a lot of anti-AI sentiment is really just about ChatGPT and Midjourney (and their direct competitors), not AI in general.
We should all oppose any regulation that would be so broad as to include this, or so off-target as to ban it but still allow the auto-HDR or noise reduction filters that have been ubiquitous for a decade or so. Photo preprocessing is nothing new, and there are multiple layers of it that you can't disable on most phones.
Edit: Unless of course this was trained on copyrighted works like Midjourney, in which case some of the same complaints apply. But I'd be shocked if that were the case.
