‘There is no such thing as a real picture,’ says Samsung exec.::Samsung’s head of product is now saying that every photo is fake. Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 phones increase the ways that the company uses AI to produce pictures.

So if every photo of a Galaxy S24 is a fake AI composition, does that mean nothing could be copyrightable or used as evidence?
Those will be fun days in court!
There was this photo recently from an iPhone that composed several shots of a bridal dress in a mirror and the reflections didn't fit reality. Apparently Samsung has been 'enhancing' photos of the moon. So your statement isn't only correct, it's already reality for many manufacturers.
Whatever ai bullshit is going on with my camera, it needs to stop.
I got a license plate pic of someone who hit my car and was running.
It should have been mildly blurry, but accurate. If it was, I could have used a deblur filter / high pass, and dsp to reasonably guess. Especially between 3 pics. I.e., an "A" should have a triangle shape and be wider on bottom, "W" would be wider on top,
But each one, the license plate had different shaped squiggles in each picture. It's like I took a picture of three different plates and blurred each one, then painted over it.
Very strange.
Yeah that moon thing was wild.
Do you have a link with more details? That sounds interesting!
Here's a couple.

Thanks, man!
That's really weird and scary. Can that feature be disabled?
Not sure. I don't own a Samsung phone. But I'm leaning towards no unless, possibly, you use a 3rd party camera app.
And your photos can't be used as evidence.
Samsung photos probably shouldn't be. What if you do a heavy zoom on a person far away and their AI just totally invents a new face for them?
It already invents different blurred strokes over license letters from afar
I think this is a great example of why a lot of anti-AI sentiment is really just about ChatGPT and Midjourney (and their direct competitors), not AI in general.
We should all oppose any regulation that would be so broad as to include this, or so off-target as to ban it but still allow the auto-HDR or noise reduction filters that have been ubiquitous for a decade or so. Photo preprocessing is nothing new, and there are multiple layers of it that you can't disable on most phones.
Edit: Unless of course this was trained on copyrighted works like Midjourney, in which case some of the same complaints apply. But I'd be shocked if that were the case.
