They actually work in tandem now. And honestly, some of the generative stuff in Adobe products I find genuinely useful. Specifically I really like the AI noise reduction in Lightroom. It allows people with less-expensive cameras to have better end results.

Photoshop the software is named after photoshopping and not the other way around.

Can you clarify what you mean? This is the kind of trivia I'd normally know about but I fail to make a connection, a quick search also didn't yield more info besides that it was supposedly whispered to the creators by a potential publisher, and the obvious reference to a "shop" for photos like a workshop.

A photo shop is what you used to take your film or pictures to to be enlarged or touched up. This process became known as photo-shopping and the software was named after this. This is according to my artist grandma who died recently and my graphic design professor years ago.

Your grandma and professor were wrong. Try to find a source that uses the term photoshop before 1992. You won't, because it doesn't exist.

It's okay to be wrong sometimes.

It's not true. It was called photo manipulation before Photoshop.

Adobe has actually complained about the term photoshopping because it can lead to genericization and loss of their trademark.

That's absolutely not true.

Edit: Okay, eat shit downvoters. Please provide a source that confirms the term photoshop was used before 1992.

Does it work similar to the noise reduction on flagship phones? Then it does create a feel of artificialness when looking closer, with a tendency for artifacts.
