I hate that everytime I see a photo in a youtube video and it looks weird I now have to commit brain power to working out if it's been photoshopped or if it's a fucking "AI" image.

90% of the time it's the latter.

Here's a simple guide for using AI images in media!
Ask yourself "Can I do this without using AI?"

If the answer is "Yes" then please do it without using AI.

If the answer is "No" then just don't do it, think of something else; that cutaway image isn't that important to the story.
