> Pro Res Zoom uses Tensor G5 and an all-new generative imaging model to intelligently recover and refine intricate details.

I guess we'll never be able to trust any photos taken with a Pixel 10 or above.

Yeah.

So basically the trend now is to stop actually improving things and have AI make shit up to fill the gaps and pretend we're improving things.

I look forward to the news stories about people getting lost because they used 100x "zoom" to read a distant sign.

So far all the camera features are available through the API (and not hidden behind drm), so you could potentially use something like ProShot.

"Smoothing" of photos has already been on by default in Android and iOS for years at this point. You'd need to go way back to "trust" any of them.
