Samsung Moon AI Enhancement

TL;DR Samsung is using AI/ML to slap on a texture of the moon on your moon pictures, and while some think that it's your camera's capability, it's actually not. And it's not sharpening, it's not adding detail from multiple frames because in this experiment, all the frames contain the same amount of detail. None of the frames have the craters etc. because they're intentionally blurred, yet the camera somehow miraculously knows that they are there. And don't even get me started on the motion interpolation on their "super slow-mo", maybe that's another post in the future..

A black text screenshot explains that Samsung phones allegedly use AI/ML to overlay a moon texture onto moon photos instead of capturing real detail. The joke is a sarcastic criticism of computational photography and motion interpolation, implying the camera fabricates impressive results and presents them as genuine capability.
