Uhm... I'm probably "consevative" but if I take a photo I want to have a photo of the moment and not "a variation of the moment"... o_O

Have you never taken a time-sensitive photo that was otherwise perfect but has an annoying visual obstruction (e.g. traffic sign poles, a reflection on a windshield for photos taken out of a moving car etc.)?

  No because it captures the moment.

    How exactly does it capture the moment? Almost certainly, the camera doesn't capture what your eyes do, even without advanced computational photography because of lens effects, color range, etc...so what moment is being captured? The moment of the camera?

    People don't just use cameras as perfect recording tools, as wild as that sounds. Photos are also for expression. And so, editing can be used to enhance the expression part, getting the image away from the recording parts maybe, but closer to the original intention of taking that photo.

  No, not relly. If there is a traffic sign post then removing it makes it kinda... "untrue"?

That's ok. You can... not use that feature.

I turn a lot of real photos into cartoons. I love the feature! Most recently I took a photo of my grandma and me, asked Gemini to make it a cartoon, asked Gemini to make the new variant into a birthday card. My grandma loved it! I was happy to make her something custom. Buying people cards just never felt right to me. Writing was also never my strongest suit - so this new form of expression for me has been enhancing :) The only remaining thing I need to do better is getting the card printed! I wish that also was only 12seconds of work.

The original advertising for these removal and fix-up features confounded me. Google ads for camera/Google Photos features were marketing the ability to change the content of the moment being captured, remove things in the background, fit people into the photo who weren't there, add details, change the weather and background. It made me imagine in the distant future, I would be looking back at false memories. If I made a bunch of genAI photos now and ended up with a neurodegenerative disease, I would be able to fondly look back at memories of myself landing on the moon, winning gold at the olympics etc.
