It happens that Samsung is actually doing brilliant job in faking it, even accounting for obstruction like tree branches etc: https://twitter.com/David4252579/s

All this could have been OK if Samsung wasn't misleading people into believing that the picture is a result of computational photography and excellent optics.
I would love to have this in my phone's camera, but clearly identified as details added after the fact and might not represent the actual scene. It's done so well that practically no one noticed and people like MKBHD reeved it as a photography achievement.
The truth is, the non-AI implementations also fail to capture how we see the Moon and fixing it with fake details is a welcome improvement as long as it's clear that that's not actual capture.
- sorenjan 4y agoAccording to a comment on Reddit this only happens when "Scene Optimizer" is active in the camera. I don't know if this is the default, it probably is nowadays, but my phone camera's equivalent is labeled AI. I think the public needs to be educated that modern AI basically means to make up new data based on a statistical model from training data, i.e. fake.
