I remember several years back people were mad that a phone brand (can’t remember which one, I think it was Samsung?) was claiming to be able to take superzoom photos of the moon, but were actually just replacing the very fuzzy moon with a clear image. Nowadays, you have phone brands (all of them, not just the one) actively promoting adding people into image, removing people from images, hell, even changing the entire SKY, with little to no reaction from most people. What happened, why doesn’t anyone care anymore?
Of note, I do not feel particularly strongly for or against artificially enhanced smartphone photographs. I’m just wondering why no one is talking about any of this…
I don’t remember anyone being explicitly against the fake pictures of the moon. Photoshop has been around for decades.
Nah it was a big thing.
It was a reddit post and a bunch of corpo news talking about the reddit post. Samsung didn’t trick anyone, the ML algorithms were always in the open, people just had to turn off the “scene optimizer” mode.
It definitely seems like it was a big thing but it’s hard to see if literally anything happened as a result or if anyone actually cared.
