On the one hand, why not. It's not really a lie any more than a blurry photo would have been, and people will be happier with the results.

On the other hand, if anything unusual happens to the moon like a new big crater from an impact, people with Samsung phones or similar image enhancement tech won't be able to get a picture of it.

@petealexharris @adrianhon Because the AI isnt just putting known pictures of the moon over it, changes to its surface will still show up

The post doesn't have me convinced really. It's no surprise they use AI to enhance their 100x zoom pictures, but in all examples it's very clear it's just working with the data it is served. I don't find the examples to be shocking at all, they match the blurrry version quite well, and the clipped version at the end of their post seems to look clipped on their Samsung example too?

Anyway run a blurry picture through most upscaling algorithms (meant to add detail) and it should get it right as long as some detail was still there. Blury images is that these algorithms are trained on for years.

@Purple @petealexharris @adrianhon There is also this post which shows that even if a smiley-shaped crater would suddenly appear on the moon's surface the Samsungs would perfectly capture it. 🙂

@fernsehchat @petealexharris @adrianhon uhm, I fail to understand how this is bad? If anything this proofs that Samsung just uses upscaling / sharpening AI and not overlays known images of the moon

Using AI for sharpening is nothing new
