Despite the hype, some small business owners are questioning the real-world benefits of AI-powered photo editing tools. A recent discussion on Reddit’s r/artificial intelligence highlights a growing concern that these tools are more of a novelty than a necessity. Several business owners report limited practical applications, primarily using them for tasks like basic mockups, background removal, and quickly generating images of equipment for social media. The high subscription costs and lack of a demonstrable return on investment are leading many to believe these AI editors are just rebranded versions of existing software with tacked-on AI features. The online conversation seeks concrete examples of AI photo editing tools that genuinely contribute to financial gains for small businesses.
