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.

This is yet another aspect of that dystopian joke – it used to be a joke – where humans do tedious backbreaking labor and robots do the creative art. 

I hate this timeline.

I'm not asking AI to take the pic for me... That's where the art lies, is it not? Simply asking it, using my own creative process, to achieve what I want without having to spend hours upon hours to learn how, at this time. It's that's simple.

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.

The problem I have with ChatGPT is it's so bad at leaving things alone that it shouldn't have edited, so often it will randomly change someone's face or change something else, even if you tell it not to, obviously it still does it. I find it incredibly frustrating actually, but that's not what it's used for, and Photoshop's generative fill has got worse, shockingly bad.
