LAZY_TITLE
Over the weekend, a Reddit thread made waves for pushing Samsung into a tough spot. It alleges that the company is misleading customers with “fake” moonshots captured using its 100x Space Zoom feature.
Samsung introduced Space Zoom with the Galaxy S20 Ultra. Since then, the company has touted it as a great tool for capturing the moon. Samsung has always maintained it uses AI to enhance these 100x digital zoom shots. A SamMobile report from 2021 called the feature a gimmick, explaining how Samsung overlays textures obtained from much higher-resolution images of the moon on the shots you take using the Space Zoom feature.
so first it's years of "it's the thinnest phone ever" and then "it's the best camera ever as a gigantic ugly alien lump on what used to be the thinnest phone ever" to "we've done a new thing with the icon tray at the top" and now here we are.
it is just such a freaking colossal amount of effort to go through to trick someone to sell a phone camera under crap pretenses. that the phone has been programmed to detect when someone is trying to photograph the moon, and then actively fake it to keep up the gimmick.
do you think these fuckers are out of ideas, or what?
that i was also thinking, i hate the phrase "baby bump" with a passion. how the fuck did this become a thing? who the hell wants to see that? so let's have 100x zoom and the phone uses AI to detect when you're photographing a baby bump and overlays "higher-resolution images" from rihanna's abdomen and instagram will be flooded with a bland wash of AI baby bumps and maybe that'd finally kill the concept?
no?
i'll keep dreamin'
