Being unable to manually unreject seems almost fatal to me. Given that you need to employ work arounds, how much of a time benefit are you gaining here in your applications?
An AI tool trained on an individual's workflow (a history thereof would be ideal) could actually be an appropriate and good use of AI. It would essentially extend one's existent cognitive processes through pattern finding rather than what's common in AI where it pushes a kind of population norm. Someone must be doing this, if only through the apparent throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks approach that's currently de rigueur.
Ps. the photo at the top final rendition is +1/3 stop and a change of profile to TMAX3200. Point being can you see what I saw and why this was a fav that was rejected. There were others that I would never select that I honestly had no clue why they were not rejected that were not obviously sharper anywhere at 200%l.... bizarre.
Socially speaking, we have quite some way to go for there to be a kind of critical mass of belief in diverse individuality. I hope that makes sense. To me, that's the absolute core of art and other creativity that I most value. It seems to me the desire to fit in is what has us falling prey to the mimicry exploited by AI (or any consensus aesthetic of 'good', as you say). I prefer to have the whole 'fitting in' thing reverse engineered to just accept more perspectives! I'll avert this derailment here, haha.
You read my mind but... don't dismiss the auto-stacking based on similarity and NOT time. It's about the only thing I found useful unless of course you value some arbitrary "sharpness" of something.

I was trying very hard to be "fair". I pray for those that value the consensus values of "good".
Very well said!
