There was this photo recently from an iPhone that composed several shots of a bridal dress in a mirror and the reflections didn't fit reality. Apparently Samsung has been 'enhancing' photos of the moon. So your statement isn't only correct, it's already reality for many manufacturers.

Whatever ai bullshit is going on with my camera, it needs to stop.

I got a license plate pic of someone who hit my car and was running.

It should have been mildly blurry, but accurate. If it was, I could have used a deblur filter / high pass, and dsp to reasonably guess. Especially between 3 pics. I.e., an "A" should have a triangle shape and be wider on bottom, "W" would be wider on top,

But each one, the license plate had different shaped squiggles in each picture. It's like I took a picture of three different plates and blurred each one, then painted over it.

Very strange.

Thanks, man!

That's really weird and scary. Can that feature be disabled?

Not sure. I don't own a Samsung phone. But I'm leaning towards no unless, possibly, you use a 3rd party camera app.
