    Of course they’re not real. They’re reproductions of reality. This has been true of images since cave paintings.

    This is what happens when you think you have a story, but it turns out you don’t. Image editing apps exist and are getting easier to use, big whoop?

    I for sure thought this was gonna be about “AI cameras”. Seems all phones nowadays have some kind of software to make the camera seem less shitty, but nope, it’s about people making a choice to edit their photos.

    Welcome to our new counterfeit reality.

    This has been the situation for over a decade. The real news (likely within the next year) will be when we can no longer trust video.

      This article is talking mostly about generative AI features like the ones in the new Pixel phone. There’s a big difference between filters and minor touchups and entirely changing the position of people and objects in a few taps.

      Love OpenCamera, this is pretty much my camera app of choice.

      If I need extra image processing (e.g. Night Sight) I use modded GCam with one of its many modes

    The default setting for the default camera on my phone already “enhances” your appearance by making your eyes bigger and trying to squash your jaw line. I hate that I can’t even change it so that the filter is always off; I have to disable it manually every time I go to take a picture.
