A big Wired piece with the Google team behind the Pixel cameras just hit. Let’s gaze upon the philosophical justification for the ongoing AI-powered what-is-a-photo apocalypse:

To Reynolds and the broader Pixel Camera team, it’s not necessarily the photo that’s important, but your memory. [...]

“What some of these edits do is help you create the moment that is the way you remember it, that’s authentic to your memory and to the greater context, but maybe isn’t authentic to a particular millisecond.”

No huge problems teaching people they can’t trust any photos at all worth thinking about there!
