People have been doctoring photos as far back as the American Civil War (1861-1865). But as far as the technology used to doctor photos goes, I am more concerned about people using software like Adobe Photoshop or websites like Pixlr than I am about people using AI image generators.

AI image generators are okay for people who care about the big picture. But the more you care about the fine details of a picture, the less likely you will be impressed by AI image generators. The gap between what you want to see and what you get will be a much bigger gap when using AI image generators than when you do the work yourself. AI image generators may ignore certain parts of the text prompt you enter. They may even outright refuse to generate any imagery if you enter in a prompt that has an offensive word or phrase.

So for those who want to doctor photos, they will quickly figure out that they have a much better chance of getting away with it by taking an existing face or picture of someone and then adding or deleting objects and/or backgrounds with Photoshop or Pixlr or similar software packages or websites. The results will look more real, and the software will be unable to stop you from creating something gory or explicit or otherwise offensive.
