#samsung fake moon

Samsung drew flak last week for its Galaxy phones’ camera shooting capabilities allegedly ‘faking’ moon shots using AI. On March 15, Samsung shed light on how its “Super Resolution technology” combined with the “Scene Optimizer” work in order to produce high-quality images of the moon. The bottom-line here is that Samsung does use clever AI-based enhancement in capturing pictures of the moon. Is Samsung really ‘faking’ their moon shots? Apparently, no, Samsung is not faking their moon shots. Quoting, Arun Maini in his explainer video on the ‘fake’ Samsung moon shots, “The process of creating that image might be less authentic, the end photo is arguably more authentic.” A Reddit post recently spilled all over Twitter alleging Samsung is using artificial intelligence to fake photos of the moon. The accusation came from a Reddit user named ‘ibreakphotos’ who pointed out that Samsung—with their latest Galaxy phones having 100x ‘space zoom’ (starting with S20 Ultra)—uses artificial intelligence or machine learning built on a neural network of hundreds of thousand images of the moon.
