The definition of AI for me is anything that’s automated is AI. (This is based on the 4 levels of AI) So autofocus, auto exposure, Auto ISO all of that is AI to me. You can, of course, put that kind of automation into a “creatively acceptable” bucket, but yeah, I have a hard time hopping on board the hate train when I’m already using so much AI in my own photography.
