How to extend a background with Photoshop's new Generative AI tool

GIF of Adobe Photoshops generative AI in action

The AI revolution is upon on, and as photographers, we are perhaps one of the most vulnerable groups to AI as it  could render the camera obsolete. But rather than get all doom and gloom about where our AI future is headed, we can instead embrace the change and work out how it can work for us and not against us.
