In reply to Tom L. Good points Tom, but I'm not sure users will have much choice.

It is one of those things we mere mortals have little influence over. Somewhere deep in the bowls of MS and other giants some bean counter has determined that there is a profit to be made. Well, there is no way they are doing this for our benefit.
Some of my photography friends have become enchanted by some of the new (beta) AI features in Photoshop. Sure it is amazing, but I did not take up the hobby to let some computer create my images. I feel that images created this way only take away from my work. It is bad enough that the camera I use selects the best settings for a scene. Many times, I just turn off all these features and do it manually. Then it is mine.
But, most people I know are LAZY and want technology to do it for them. NO creativity.

In reply to Reg Watson. Hey Reg, Somewhat ironically, about a week after I wrote this article I received notification that Microsoft was in the process of adding AI into its latest Outlook software.

Thanks Jim
Wait until Microsoft and Google’s AI starts secretly reporting back to Government Intelligence Agencies that you have been “innocently” browsing gun advertisements and looking up prices for MAGA hats on EBay !
