Samsung uses multi-frame capture techniques to reduce noise and improve brightness in its smartphone cameras.
The company automatically recognizes scenes to adjust colors, contrast, skin tones, textures, and white balance according to those scenes using advanced algorithms. This means that all images from modern cameras have some AI components.
Samsung has stirred up controversy on AI photos by saying that there are no real pictures. The company uses multi-frame capture techniques to reduce noise and improve brightness in its smartphone cameras, but it also automatically recognizes scenes to adjust colors, contrast, skin tones, textures, and white balance according to those scenes using advanced algorithms. This means that all images from modern cameras have some AI components. The company's EVP Patrick Chomet said that there is no such thing as a real picture because sensors are used to capture what you see and it doesn't mean anything without the use of AI tools. He also pointed out that video made by YouTuber Marques Brownlee about moon pictures captured by Samsung smartphones sparked a debate around what constitutes a real picture, with some saying there is no such thing as a real picture. The company has added watermarks to AI-generated or edited images to help users understand the difference between real and AI-generated images.
Samsung is addressing concerns about the need for regulation of generative AI.
<br>Generative Edit makes it easy to artificially rearrange an image to create perfect pictures or photographic masterpieces according to Samsung.<br>
There is no such thing as a real picture. According to Patrick Chomet, there are two competing desires when taking a photo: one is wanting to capture the moment accurately while the other is wanting to make something new. Generative Edit helps with both.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Samsung's head of customer experience Patrick Chomet stated that governments are right to be concerned about Generative AI capabilities. However, this statement was not made by Chomet and there is no evidence to support it.
The article states: 'Generative AI needs to be regulated, according to the company's head of customer experience Patrick Chomet.' However, this statement is not accurate as there is no evidence that Chomet made such a statement.
The article states: 'Generative Edit could wind up in the category of advanced filter - another tool to help average smartphone users take fantastic photos.' This example is deceptive because Generative Edit goes beyond just an advanced filter. It allows for seamless and easy manipulation of images, which raises concerns about authenticity and ethics.
Fallacies
(75%)
The article discusses the concerns about Samsung's new AI photo-editing feature called Generative Edit. The author quotes Patrick Chomet, head of customer experience at Samsung, who argues that the tool is ethical and desirable. However, there are some fallacies present in this argument.
The article states that 'Generative Edit allows for simple edits such as erasing, recomposing and remastering'. This statement implies a false equivalence between natural photo editing techniques (such as cropping or adjusting brightness) and the use of AI to artificially alter images. The author does not provide any evidence that these 'simple' edits are equivalent in terms of their impact on the authenticity or ethics of an image.
The article quotes Patrick Chomet saying, 'As soon as you have sensors to capture something, you reproduce [what you're seeing], and it doesn't mean anything. There is no real picture.' This statement implies a false dichotomy between what is considered 'real' versus what is not. The author does not provide any evidence that this distinction holds up in the context of photo editing or AI technology.
