‘There is no such thing as a real picture,’ says Samsung exec.::Samsung’s head of product is now saying that every photo is fake. Samsung’s new Galaxy S24 phones increase the ways that the company uses AI to produce pictures.

    I used to work in medical imaging and weirdly pedantic people would say this all the time about digital photography. They say that even just the act of Debayering makes it artificial

        And don’t get me started on the shit with how we actually see things. What photo? What reality? Is this a simulation?

        Everything is just perception man… Just waves of energy flowing down a massive cosmic river.

        But somehow I don’t think this is Samsung’s official position.

        Take the argument further. Our vision is just our rods and cones reacting to the light striking them. Which is kinda analogous to film.

        But I’d also argue that we never really see a raw image. Our brain takes the raw image information and transforms it, and this is kinda analogous (although stretching it a bit) to the processing smart phones and digital cameras do.

        So, you know we’re back to the matrix argument. What is real?
