On the "actual detail of specific things" comment, I think generative AI will get a long way there to be convincing. But almost more importantly there are two non-obvious things that people don't realize when thinking of why this won't work. 1) the camera is focused on the subject mater, and we don't offer free roam. The subject is always the focus and we more around that subject. Because the subject matter is focused, the real-world camera never captured that information anyway. The person taking the photo or the person viewing it, doesn't know what is there and what isn't, so to convince them of what they are seeing, as long as the subject matter is re-created, should be fine for 90% of the content. We're not re-creating crime scenes, we're giving you a new way to experience your memories. 2) we mis-remember so many things anyway, that these details that (as mentioned above are likely not important) will the viewer remember that the person walking past behind the person taking the photo had a blue shirt on or yellow. Will it matter? We already have a flexible relationship with media, as so much is photoshopped to get the image the person wanted to take vs what they actually took. I suspect we will go deeper down this rabbit-hole and be more and more and expect to be thinking to ourselves "it's a nice photo, probably isn't like that IRL".
