Two anecdotes:
1. A friend of mine met his favourite author (traveled from one continent to another for a signing event). When he shaked hands with the author, a friend took a photo. A lady (still hated by us!) step in the middle, and blocked the photo. Maybe an IA or a talented person could remove her, use a footage photo of the author and rebuild the photo... but why? What's the purpose of that?
2. A few months ago during the pandemic I scanned all the printed pictures of my grand parents with my phone. Aftre scanning like 200s, I checked one and I zoomed in: the stupid app applied some IA to make it better and it just was worse. I don't care if it looks better for the untrained eye: my grandparents didn't look like that. I now have stupid horrible verson of the scanned photos, where my grand parents appear with smooth skin and weird eyes.
A different angle, if a friend had painted the encounter instead, it wouldn't be exact but it would be a snapshot of a memory.
I'm not hugely arguing in favour of it but I think there's different scales here, from cameras doing "merge pictures half a second apart so people have their eyes open" to "totally change their face".
