You can edit any digital content without anyone’s permission, that’s always been how it is.
No, you can’t edit and share copyright content without the risk of legal consequences. This is exactly the problem in X denounced by artists and photographers, who see how the AI uses their works without permission. Also for the normal user it isn’t nice when he found his Photo used by an AI meme creator. Even Google must blur the faces in it’s Strret View for legal reasons, the right of the own image. You can use legally only images which are free to use (CC and similar) or with permissions of the author, because of this there are webs with such content, like Pixabay, Freeimage and similar.
Yeah, yeah you can, the heck? Parody, Fair use, and a variety of other options exist for the purpose described by the guy above you.
That said, you aren’t talking about that and I can’t help but feel like the guy you are responding to is acting in bad faith by intentionally misinterpreting what you are talking about, or they’re a useful idiot who doesn’t know what they are speaking about. Dismissing what they’re talking about is unhelpful. Either provide a context correct correction, or ignore them.
