We’ve been able to manipulate photos since the early days of film cameras. While technology has made them easier to mess with, they’ve never been truly trustworthy.
This has been the case in Asia for 7 years or more now. Every single photo of a person on a China-bought phone has had a filter you couldn’t turn off.
Idk, my Xiaomi mi mix 3 5g, that I bought straight from China, around 2019ish has a toggle for the AI face filter.
Tried it once and turned it off straight away because how weird it was
Clickbait bullshit
I do a lot of photography for a museum. In documenting historic artifacts (as in journalism) you’re not supposed to do any post processing. Not that I’d use a phone camera for those photos, but it’s an issue as those features creep into more serious cameras.
Well yeah, cest ne pas une pipe
it’s «ceci n’est pas une pipe»
Oh damn you’re right je ne suis pas le français

In my opinion, phone cameras are usually used to capture a memory, not a moment. Memories are idealistic and inaccurate, so I don’t think it’s a problem that a way of “storing memories” is also inaccurate.
Even the best camera is just an approximation of the moment, so articles like this are just pseudo-intellectual wanking.
But it matters for a couple of different reasons.
Instagram and the search for perfection is already ruining our teenagers self-worth.
Also, news have to try to deal with facts. Lots of news will come from mobile phone cameras.
A vast majority of photos are already staged and have been for a very long time, before phone cameras were a decent replacement. In th cases where accuracy is required phone cameras are rarely used. I don’t see an issue here.
