I would say that it mostly depends on the complexity of the photo. Random Instagram model posing for the camera? You can get it out of the box with a press of a button in your machine. Complex photo with multiple subjects and cluttered background? That would need lots of human work.
I am definitely impressed by what it can do, but what real world demand does it fulfil? You know, apart from misinformation campaigns and the like. There may be some use cases, but enough to justify the huge investments?
Yeah, I don’t doubt it, but you still need human labour. Not anyone can simply fake a photo on a level that’s believable.
