Yeah, I kinda lost me at the end when he’s talking about AI generated “synthetic skies”.

I get it, a ton of photoshops will just drop in a new sky. But that’s a choice that a user made not a choice that the phone manufacturer made for them.

For anyone who didn't read TFA, this is part of an in-story quote by Russell Brown (not the author) talking about the future of mobile photography. As a long-time Adobe employee he's parroting their messaging here, since Adobe's value-add is in "what comes after" photography.

Photoshop's new AI-powered Generative Fill is a good example of what Russell's thinking of when he talks about "computational AI" (a non-sensical name intended to one-up "computational photography"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR7j8r-LzQ8
