I wouldn't call what Samsung does with the moon a photo anymore. A picture? Sure. For being a photograph of the moon so, it way to close to what an AI generator would come up with when asked to create a picture of the moon. Samsung is somewhat using sensor data as prompt it seems. As far as accurate representation goes, digital photos are court admissable as proof. And forensic ones goes through a deliberate processing pipeline, the original as taken in camera is never discarded while doing so. Which is close enough for me to be a representation of reality. Personally, my opinion about those over-processed pictures you see on social media is the same as it is about Ssung faking the moon. I don't like neither, regardless if they are smartphone or "real" camera photos.
