>>4159135I'm a hobbyist, and it's the process of photography (including, though controversial, enjoying learning about and playing with the gear), from capturing photos to editing them and presenting them, and in particular, that the thing I'm capturing is God-given natural beauty which I am--through this proces--led to appreciate in a more focused manner, which all brings me satisfaction. Even if commercially, all potential clients decided AI slop was enough, I'd still partake in the hobby. Hell, the AI imagery nonsense itself has potential as a separate hobby too I guess.
