Has anyone yet tried the new Photoshop Beta with AI? If so have you played with the AI features yet? What did you think of them? I am just downloading PS 2023 AI Beta now.

I have given it a go and it is interesting, if quite difficult to use. For example I took a test photo a few days ago with my Q3 just seeing how the various controls worked. It was inside our sitting room, where there is a plain fawn colour rug sitting on top the fitted carpet in front of our wood fire burner, to protect the fitted carpet from sparks. I opened the photo, selected the rug with the magnetic lasso and then used the new Generative Fill to change the rug to a Persian Carpet and it did sort of but the area generatively filled was less than I had selected but the perspective was correct. I am not sure how impressed the weavers of Isfahan would have been with Adobe's rug but it was very approximately correct. I also asked it to add a Dodo but apparently that broke Adobe's Beta rules - why?? A crocodile was OK but a Dodo wasn't.

Was there a typo involving a 'l' and an 'i'?

I have been playing with it today.  Language prompts are important.  We were diving recently and my buddies always seem to have a drink in their hands, so I added the turtle instead.  The first attempt added two extra fingers, but it is fun and is going to be amazing for events / weddings where stupid things always ruin the money shot.

Have tried the beta, but not the AI. I'm a photographer.

So was Ansel Adams who used the latest tek to tweak his photographs. C

Ansel Adams manipulated his images extensively through the use of push-and-pull processing when he developed his sheets of film and then extensive dodging

I am quite aware of how Ansel Adams developed his images. 
 

There is, though, a line between what is editing a digital image and what is AI creation. You might want to take a look at the Royal Phorographic Society statement about the matter. I actually posted it at the beginning of the week.

There is a huge difference between Ansel's techniques (manipulating existing data) and AI Composites (adding detail and objects that were not in the original).

I am OK with using AI to eliminate unnecessary elements in the image.

It begs the question whether using AI disqualifies an image. The old discussion whether a photograph should be a true copy of reality (as if this were possible 🙄) or a creative interpretation. Nobody ever questions whether a painting has added or deleted elements. And what about Magic Realism? There is nothing that corresponds to reality in the realism. At least AI adds “real” data-sourced elements.

Still successfully and happily using PS CS6.....it covers all I need in my photography (and more which I never make use of).

I've tried it and it works pretty well.  I would use it more to remove objects or distractions than to add things to a photograph or to otherwise manipulate it, but it is kind of fun to play around with.  I took an image of my car, shot at a mountain park and put the car on the beach at the ocean.  It did an amazing job and blended the two images seamlessly right down to the shadows cast by the car.  It was nearly impossible to tell it was an AI composite.  

That said, to me this is not "real" photography.  It's more computer generated graphic design.  It's scary to think that some computer nerd sitting in his basement can generate images that are as good or better than a real photographer could get.  True, the images had to come from somewhere and to some people it won't matter.  A nice image is a nice image, but it takes away from the work a real photographer puts in to get that perfect photo.

It's all in the image.   How it got there should be of NO concern to the viewer.
