I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.

Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

    It was more to denote the presence of Apple’s processing algorithms, which are possibly part of why people think it’s AI or painted. Lots of people on Reddit thought it was a painting and some pointed to the painterly look of details when zoomed into.

    Lots of discussion about that being the result of Apple’s fusion algo, which merges many rapidly taken exposures to eliminate noise, at the expense of real detail.

      What an absurd line of reasoning from that bunch.

      “Obviously” you should have just posted the raw sensor data and let the viewers figure it out themselves. Sheesh.

      Very interesting, thanks for the explanation. To me it’s kind of pathetic that people feel such a compulsion to be cops instead of just enjoying a nice image.
