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.

"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.

Really hope that can be disabled.

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