An amateur photographer who goes by the name 'ibreakphotos' decided to do an experiment on his Samsung phone last month to find out how a feature called 'space zoom' actually works.

Ibreakphotos took his own pictures of the Moon -- blurry and without detail -- and watched as his phone added craters and other details. Samsung has defended the technology, saying it does not"overlay" images, and pointed out that users can switch off the function. "This automation is increasingly blurring boundaries between a photograph and a piece of artwork," he told AFP.
Nick Dunmur of the Britain-based Association of Photographers said professionals most often use"RAW" files on their digital cameras, which capture images with as little processing as possible.Ibreakphotos, who posted his finding on Reddit, pointed out that technical jargon around AI is not always easy to understand -- perhaps deliberately so.
"This is not human-authored work," Dunmur said,"and in many cases is based on the use of training datasets of unlicensed work."According to Pritchard, the tools risk disrupting the work of anyone"from photographers, to models, to retouchers and art directors".
