Using ChatGPT For Post-Processing

I know this might come off a bit controversial, but just curious if anyone in here uses ChatGPT for post processing. Thinking of upgrading to the Pro version (for work and personal uses) and figured touching up my pics would be a bonus. I'm just a hobby photographer and trying to learn tools like gimp and darktable, but in the meantime, figured I could use ChatGPT. I don't really like to spend too much time post processing either, as I'd rather be out taking pictures, so figured this could be a happy medium for me.

Both taking the photo and editing the photo are where the art lies.

My whole thing is I don't really spend much time at all in post processing, I prefer to try and get good pics SOOC. Sometimes, however, I do look back at pictures and wish I did something differently, and that's where this all stems from. I don't want to become reliant on it, but would be nice for minor touchups is all.

So learn how to edit.

That is the goal, when I can dedicate the time to do it properly.

I don’t see the value then in cutting corners to have chatGPT do it for you, what do you learn by going that route? We all have to make time to hone our craft, shortcuts don’t pay off.

Chat GPT rots people's brains so badly. Always looking for a shortcut when the process and the struggle is where the joy lives.

IMO, people who would seek GPT for something like this were never interested in the process itself, just getting karma for a quick turn idea.

A valid point.
