That 100X zoom example is pretty amazing

It's probably impossible to use as well. Just a 10x is fairly difficult to control.

Plus AI upscaling. Fuck no.

  • Shouldn't be impossible. Samsung already offers Space Zoom which has a good UX and a LOT of image stabilization so your hands shaking isn't magnified by 100x.

    As far as AI upscaling though, agreed. At least make a setting so we can do our own A/B tests.

  • Ever since magic eraser we've been slip-sliding down the slippery slope that ends with all our picture memories being half-AI-generated with the same "look" based on whatever flavor generated them at the time.

    • Yeah that. I'm not up for that. The post-processing is bad enough on my iPhone that I bought a mirrorless camera to use instead.

In fairness it's AI "upscaled". What kind of car that is isn't actually present in the original image's data, it's a best guess from the AI.
