A U.K. woman was photographed standing in a mirror where her reflections didn’t match, but not because of a glitch in the Matrix. Instead, it’s a simple iPhone computational photography mistake.

Who wants photos of a fake reality? Might as well just AI generate them.
Generally the final photo is an accurate representation of a moment. Everything in this photo happened. It’s not really generating anything that wasn’t there. You can sometimes get similar results by exploiting the rolling shutter effect.

It’s not like they’re superimposing an image of the moon over a night sky photo to fake astrophotography or something.

A photo is a fake reality. It’s a capture of the world from the perspective of a camera that no person has ever seen.
Sure we can approximate with viewfinders and colour match as much as possible but it’s not reality. Take a photo of a light bulb, versus look at a light bulb, as one obvious example.
This is just one other way to get less consistency in the time of different parts of the photos, but overall better capture what we want to see in a photo.
I agree with this comment but I don’t like it 😤
However I think most cameras and most people traditionally have wanted the most accurate photos possible. If the camera is outputting fiction that can be a big problem.
Oh, dear. No, in most cases people seem to want the prettiest photos possible. Otherwise digital filters wouldn’t be so popular.
To their credit, it’s not “fake”. This isn’t from generative AI, this is from AI picking from multiple different exposures of the same shot and stitching various parts of them together to create the “best” version of the photo.
Everything seen in the photo was still 100% captured in-lens. Just… not at the exact same time.

It’s not the case as someone already explained, but also, who care about the photo being fake ? People take photos to show to other people and keep a memory, and that photo looking better than reality is usually not an issue. I would still prefer choice with a toggle somewhere, which we will never get with an Apple product.
My take exactly.
