I feel like there's a meaningful difference between that stuff and the computational photography common on smartphones.

  There may be a meaningful difference between demosaicing and generative AI - actually there isn't because demosaicing/upscaling/image generation are all the same problem, but there might be one since people like to think of them as different. There isn't a difference between auto white balance and generative AI though. The colors in an auto mode digital camera picture are not real.

    You can only get real colours in a raw format digital picture.

      Not really. First of all the colours aren't "real" even in that raw, and second if you accept that as real, you can get per-pixel chroma information with Foveon sensors, pixel-shift systems, monochrome sensors with lens filters...

        Well, a more fundamental issue is that the colors of an object in a scene aren't "real" if the lighting in the scene is not daylight white. And most of the time you're not there to appreciate the low-CRI yellow indoor lights.
