Weird take. I cherish those photo albums where I can refresh memories from when I was a kid. Anything further back is much more selectively interesting but AI slop can't replace those memories. Well ... it could probably. I could re-enact a photo I can't find and at some point I'd probably forget it was AI but that's scary and worth preventing.

My family doesn't share old photos anymore. After they discovered AI, it's all AI modified ones. Either animated or brand new. They consider the actual photos not a good representation of the past. AI does a better job at that in people's minds.
