My opinion on Ai is that it could be helpful to photographers. While also being kind of a easy hack, it could also take some portions of photography out. Such as the editing, while yes it could be a helpful tool, i see editing as a main portion of photography, with you getting to chose whether not to change exposure or simply how you want your image to look. I feel that AI replacing that could be somewhat less engaging in photography.   

While I feel AI could be beneficial in some ways such as subject recognition could benefit photographers. I see it as you don’t what settings to use for a subject so, using AI could help benefit you by guiding you in a certain direction with your camera settings, AI image generators could be very helpful. When your looking for a specific  photo and your simply cant find it typing in a prompt could be way easier than searching for the photo somewhere else.
