What I meant by "automate decision making" is that there should be some measure of critical thought that goes into taking a photograph. How will I compose the frame? What am I really trying to capture?
This camera answers "Do a lot of other people take photos here?" which, as you point out, is an overly simplistic measure of a good photo.
But if you take this idea a little further and run some of that fancy deep-learnin' stuff of on your photos to search for common photography tropes (Oh, a macro shot of a flower? Pfft. Been done!), then you're just relegating more of your critical thinking to a machine.
- Someone1234 11y agoI just see it as a way to snap people out of their patterns. I try to be a photographer, and I know I myself get caught in patterns of shitty bland photos that I look at a year later and roll my eyes ("this thing has RUST on it!!! [snap] [snap] [snap]." We both agree it may not work, but the concept is compelling if nothing else. PS - To be frank however, if you really want to escape patterns one of these "one photo a day" challenges for a year that give you specific themes might be a better answer. If the themes are thoughtful it can help.
