The article does bad job of explaining itself. The problem is that the AI only works on the one moon we have, and would not detect a meteor crash or a Starlink Satelite or ISS or moon lander whatever.

Same as if they used the same trick with a model Coke can, and you tried to take a blurry photo a of an insect on your can.

With the moon, it's especially ridiculous because no one wants Samsung's prefab moon photo, we have tons of those. They want to see the phone zoom in on what they are actually seeing, just for fun. I don't know, maybe if you photograph the moon behind a tree, you'd like a more detailed moon. But it's Moon "Zoom" , not Space Zoom, and it's Virtual Zoom. It's like the "Just Egg" vegan egg, but Just Egg knows you know it's not a real Egg. Samsung just keeps lying and pretending we're stupid, instead of advertising the nifty feature for what it is. That's tacky.

Samsung's argument is "if you can't tell, does it matter"?

This is new post-truth AI world.
