Call me old fashioned, but that feels like cheating to me. If an AI / machine learned tool goes and does all the work for you, would there be any sense of achievement?
I feel that the hobby would devolve to picking a random target from a catalogue, pressing the 'Go" button and waiting for the image to appear on the big screen. Doesn't seem like much of a challenge to me.
I do astrophotography because it's difficult. I enjoy the challenge of teasing out an image of something that's invisible (and a huge distance away) with the equipment I have from the location I am in. I would get totally bored of it, very quickly, if all I had to do was push a button and wait for a Hubble-quality image to appear.
Regards,
V
