Twilight on the Lazy River

Today's post is an exercise in luminosity.  During a trip to the Aulani Resort and Spa four years ago, I stayed past sunset to capture this magnificent hotel property after dark.  However, I didn't have my tripod to capture crisp, smooth nighttime photographs.  Instead, I relied on hand-holding as still as I could and shooting with a wide aperture. Still, that didn't prevent a lot of my night shots from being noisy, even when shooting in RAW and editing in Photoshop.  But now, thanks to advances in AI photo editing capabilities, I can cheat on occasion and get further noise reduction via Photoshop's AI de-noising tool.  Yes, it's technically using AI, but the images are real--captured straight from my Nikon DSLR--and the only thing that AI has done is added back detail, sharpness, and some nice glow into these moody island images.  

Do you think this is a betrayal of photography authenticity, or no more so than any other typically edited image?
