I think it’s even more damning seeing this happen on the phone near the bottom of the article. There’s no way a phone camera sensor can capture all those raw values of the moon with 45X digital zoom with a phone telephoto lens (you can only see so far with 5 mm of packaging). From a digital sensor point of view, it probably sees a white blob and fires up the AI when it has a contrast and lighting similar to the moon
What would be even funnier (and more obvious, once people caught on) would be if the phone used its orientation sensors to only activate "Moon Mode" when pointed at the approximate current location of the moon. :)
