I think you're conflating "AI" with media processing. In most photo/video editing software that support it, you can use AI as a tool, but all it's really doing is cutting down on the time it would take to do some tasks manually. That doesn't mean it's "AI" any more than it's "AI" to crop a photo. Even film negatives need to be processed before anyone can see the photo.

I'm not saying AI good or bad, but I think it's disingenuous to say that using AI to say, colour-correct an image or denoise a video, makes that image/video "AI"

"The Libgen sites deprive plaintiffs and their authors of income from their creative works, devalue the textbook market and plaintiffs’ works, and may cause plaintiffs to cease publishing certain works," the complaint says.

The plaintiffs artificially inflate textbook prices so it all balances out.

Planes are so unreliable nowadays.

Wow there was absolutely no way anyone could have even guessed at this possibility.

They'll do like they always do and pretend it's the greatest, most innovative feature ever. They'll probably give it a hip new name like 'light speed port' and make it only compatible with Apple-branded products.
