Cons	Single-purpose, with nothing beyond face blurring Automatic detection can miss profiles and partially covered faces Browser processing limits throughput on large batches	Workflows (genre packs) may need to be purchased separately depending on need Correction-only AI won't help with removing or adding elements to a photo Scene detection accuracy depends on how clearly a photo fits one of the defined genres
