The problem is that this particular AI enhancement was not advertised as such. Also, in the linked article it was putting moon texture on ping pong balls, which seemed like overzealous application of AI. Samsung could have marketed it as "moon enhancement AI" or something like that, which would be more honest.

My worry about these features becoming commonplace is that if everyone just leave those features enabled, we would end up with many boring photos because they all look similar to each other. The current set of photo filters, even though they seem to be converging on particular looks, at least don't seem to invent as much detail as pasting a moon that's not there.

I don’t understand why “AI” is even required for any of this, other than classification. Once classified as “the moon” the GPS and time, from the phone, could be used for a lookup table to a 10 gigapixel rendering, at the correct orientation, using NASA scans. It seems like a moon AI would give much worse results.
