We can no longer keep up with the innovations brought to cameras and smartphones. The most striking innovations among these features come to the camera side. So much so that adding artificial intelligence has almost become a rule among these improvements. Where there is artificial intelligence, it is hardly possible to talk about reality. In this article, we reveal how much artificial intelligence intervenes in the photos taken and how it cheats on the photo…
Artificial intelligence algorithms are cheating on photos
If we give an example of the current smartphones, Google’s new smartphones Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro attract attention with their innovative features in addition to many other features. These features offer the ability to “enhance” images using artificial intelligence algorithms while taking photos. However, these developments also play with the nature of photography.
First of all, the feature called “Best Take” comes with the promise of making group photos more perfect. This feature captures multiple images around the user when taking a photo and provides a combined version of everyone’s best version.
The early prototype of the Google Pixel Watch has leaked: Its RAM and storage will disappoint fans compared to previous models.
While this may seem like an effort to get a perfect image where everyone looks at the camera and smiles with their eyes open, the real question is: Is this a real photo? Wasn’t traditional photography about capturing moments?
With this new technology, it becomes difficult to strike a balance between reality and perfection. On the other hand, these developments may be quite attractive to those who want to get a photo where everyone looks their best.
It may now be difficult to believe everything we see
With the advancement of digital photography, many photographers now take multiple photos of their subjects and then select the best ones. However, leaving this selection to algorithms with these new features questions the role of the photographer.
Now, the concept of being “a good photographer” is becoming associated with choosing the best algorithm rather than capturing the right moment. As a result, these new features of tech giants can be seen as a turning point in the world of photography.
How far this technology will go and how it will affect the nature of photography is still somewhat uncertain. Perhaps finding a balance between reality and perfection will become one of the most important questions in the future of photography.
