I was looking at a recipe and saw the photo credit was “[web site] and Qi Ai”

And my knee-jerk reaction was dammit, with the AI photos! 🤬

And then I took a breath and poked around a bit. There was no direct link to the photographer’s bio on the image credit, and there is an AI company called “QI AI” but enough poking and I found this was an actual, real food photographer from Beijing whose name is “Qi Ai”

What an unfortunate time to have that name. Glad I checked. Good luck out there Qi.
