Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Your phone edits all your photos with AI - is it changing your view of
reality?
High-tech smartphones that are equipped with multiple lenses, high megapixel
sensors, and versatile zoom capabilities offer superior low-light performance,
cinematic video, and AI-powered editing tools. In many cases, you might have
been surprised to see how beautiful the object looks and how “precisely”
details emerge in the photo you took. But are they authentic? After all, they
are all digital cameras, which capture images, convert the light into
electrical signals, and then into digital data. During the process, the “real”
image was digitally processed, and this is where AI plays a substantial role. Instead
of you editing digital images, today’s smartphones are doing it autonomously to
make them look more appealing. They not only reduce noise, correct color, or
despise blurry, but also fill in details that were not captured by the phone. If
you want to see more “realistic” photos, you can opt out of such AI processing
tools that run in the background. Which way would you prefer, with or without
AI editing/enhancement? After all, doctoring is a slippery concept, and
photographic truth might be an illusion.

camera.
