Photmanipulation, airbrushing, retouching, goofy edits, creative double exposures, they're all as old as photography. There are all kinds of neat in-camera tricks you can do with old timey chemical film. This bazinga ai thing is more or less fancy double exposure - exposing the same piece of film towice to, say, make your friends look like ghosts, or blend a picture of a dog with the colors of the sky.

Apparently when photography first moved out of the lab in to the hands of enthusiasts there was a great deal of debate about whether photography could be called art. The machine was doing all the work, after all, where was the artist's hand? Apparently it went back and forth for quite a while until most people agreed that photography constitutes art in it's own right.
