What Hacker News says

This is an insidious argument because there's a grain of truth in it. Photos/videos are heavily post-processed by Apples 'Neural engine' (https://github.com/hollance/neural-engine) running on the Bionic chips, but this is done at the time of recording. Zooming the video to play it to the jury would just be simple linear scaling, and could be done on any device capable of playing & scaling a video. For example, the zoom or crop functions in VLC. > have artificial intelligence in them that allow things to be viewed through three-dimensions and logarithms a dangerous mix of incoherent buzzwords that's nearly correct.
In “Apple’s iPad creates what it thinks is there, not what necessarily is there”
