I took a fairly elderly Panasonic DMC-GX80 on holiday with me and despite the lack of HDR, AI and clever stuff with multiple exposures, I found that for most of the interesting photos I wanted to take, it did the right thing. My phone on the other hand did the blandest thing possible. Impossible to get an atmospheric color cast, a dramatic silhouette or anything that made a photo interesting to me. It was fine in most situations with "normal" lighting but they aren't usually the things I want to photograph. The problem isn't the smartness - it's that combined with the pathological desire to simplify UI and remove options. Give me the clever stuff but let me tweak it. But no - settings are bad and options are confusing to the user.
