They were on the phone btw. Big ol iPhone 16 Pro Max up to their ear, barely paying attention to the road.

edit: if anyone has any foss camera apps they'd like to recommend, I'm looking to find something better than the stock GCamera.

Hey, I'm all for ragging on ridiculous Trump cult members, but when I zoom in like 85% of this picture looks like garbled AI gibberish.

It just looks like a combination of digital zoom, bad sharpening and low-quality JPEG.

It does doesn’t it? It’s like a weird mix of a potato camera and AI

I was like 2 lanes over and I have a Pixel A series so the camera is worse. So add that with shitty android digital zoom and u get something that isnt amazing.

Also just now noticing the Pixel camera app saves in JPG? wtf

I do swear this was a real car. I'm vocally anti-AI, and theres really no reason to post something on this community specifically that is made up.

Welcome to AI smartphones. We're settling for this crap to capture real life.

It reminds me of the AI experiment that generated a likely image based on your location and orientation.

Because it is, they decided that AI upscaling is a good "enhancement" to digital zoom.
