What are your thoughts on things like Photoshop? As an example https://old.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/psqkz6/how_you_remove_a_ex_from_your_family_picture_with/

That is generating an image, and in turn an event that didn't happen.

There are also cases of "repairing" old photos. Sometimes an old black and white photo is torn or faded, but we can restore it, we can add back things that aren't there.

After someone passes away you often hear people say "I wish I could hear their voice again" or "I wish I could have one last conversation".

I'm not going to deny that there are A LOT of terrible things that could be done with this technology. I just wonder what positives exist and how we might improve things.

I guess the two categories didn't cover the whole space of possibilities.

But many cases are clear-cut.
