imagine you want to "scan" a document using camera app like many people do, and ai sees blurry numbers and fixes then for you. when will you notice that some numbers even that look clear are different than on original document?

Would you be surprised to learn that this has been a thing for years already?

  • I think this is so we'll known case that Samsung wouldn't make such trivial mistake and if ai detects you are photographing a document it'll disable ai magic automatically, but imagine scenario eg. where you are trying to photograph some phone number from some banner, would ai also guess it shouldn't mess with numbers there? imagine someone with poor eyesight wants to read this way something from a sign that is far away and I would bet that super zoom would be attractive feature for person with such sight issues
