The job of a camera and the job of a photo is to document what is actually there. I wouldn't want someone taking photos in, for example, submitting them as evidence in a criminal trial when half the stuff in the image has been AI replaced by some computer's idea of what it probably should have looked like. And so I'm not sure whether this technology is appropriate for cell phones or whatever. On this Amazon phone, you can turn this off and on. So it's not like you're stuck with us. But I feel like at least some of the time, the job we want a camera or a photograph to do is to record what's there and the best way possible
