Unless there’s actual evidence that it’s AI, I think this is an absolutely absurd assumption to make.

I’m pretty sure that the multiple cameras all have different focal lengths, which allows the software to composite a single image from the multiple signals. This allows the intersecting fields to enhance quality when zooming and discriminate smudges/dust that you wouldn’t want to be in the shot.

My first response to seeing this:

“Interesting. I’ll add this as a bookmark so that I can go back to it later.”

Honestly, with how many projects I have bookmarked, I should probably allocate some time to just looking through my bookmarks to see if anything especially interesting stands out.

Are you referring to Arc or to Zen?

Hey, what’s wrong with fleshy versions of Grover!

In the article that someone else linked in this thread, there are JPEG artifacts around the face of the man standing to the left of the car while the one in the post doesn’t have those features. It’s possible that it was run through some sort of upscaling tool and that’s what you’re picking up on.

Edit: After comparing the two photos in more detail, though the compression artifacts differ between the two images somewhat, they are present in both.

Nonetheless, there are numerous fine details in both versions that both seem a bit off from what I would expect.

If anything, this may be the result of this photo being taken in black and white and retroactively colorized. This possibility is ultimately contingent on whether it would be likely for the sort of person who took this photo to have access to color cameras.

Edit 2: The cropped sections of the photo you shared look like brushstrokes to me.

You can give a man a drink and his thirst will be quenched for a day, but if you show a man to the water source, he will be quenched for the rest of his life.

I love the Google Play banner with the distorted Apple logo.
