Is this a roundabout way of saying she used an AI 'sharpen' filter on a shitty iPhone photo (basically shouting enhance to make a blurry jpeg clear except it sucks)? 1)I thought iPhones took p nice photos & 2)why can't wapo journoids afford a real camera?

Have you had photos come out like this before :marseyglancing:

It does use a lot of "algorithms" to smooth out the photo but this looks way more like AI image processing stuff.

My iPhone is like 10 years old. This looks about right, it's not AI, just shitty camera. Does she have an iPhone 7?

ETA: I just looked at the picture without zooming in on the faces, those are definitely AI, but I think that she probably has an older phone and then used AI to "zoom" in.

Yes, I recognised this as the shitty iPhone camera sharpening immediately.

It often looks like this kind of nightmare oil painting when you zoom in.

Low end Motorolas are probably the worst offender, just look at the grass and trees

Phones do a lot of awful 'enhancements' on photos now including automatically editing face shape

Maybe Samsung is up to their old tricks. Instead of moon details, it adds rally details

Yes. Digitally zoomed iPhone photos look like this. It probably is technically "AI" because Apple literally uses AI processing on their photos for denoise and has for years. But it's not like stable diffusion or anything like that.

Here's an example:

I don't think so and I'm using a new one. maybe this is not straight up AI but the way it was processed does make it look like AI

Definitely looks like "digital" zoom. Try max zooming onto a faraway license plate on a car with your current phone, and you'll see what I mean; it comes out extremely squiggly and bizarre.

This isn't an AI filter or AI zoom, just standard phone processing, all pictures look like this.

Average phone these days takes something between 4 and 15 pictures every time you press the shutter and tries to reconstruct 1 image with as much sharpness, dynamic range and minimal noise from them.

newer iOS uses "AI" models to combine them as well and enhance the lighting

I'm sure it's AI in some sense but it's a part of standard processing.

Do they actually leverage the NPU anyway or is it more of a "AI trained algorithm that helps us recognize which pixels to reject/how to weight different images" and whatnot

Yes I'm pretty sure it does already, particularly for portrait and cinematic mode. but 100% the next edition for all photos according to their marketing
