I don’t think that’s AI (generated). I think that’s the HDR effect of a mid-2010s phone camera, contrast and sharpness boosted, with some crushed blacks and blown-out whites, and then cropped. The cropping may have happened somewhere before the other steps, which were all probably achieved using some, I’d guess pre-2021, built-in AI enhancements.
Thank you for correcting me, and that’s shocking to see such a leap backwards in processing/enhancements. I had an iPhone 14 pro for a few years and cannot recall ever getting a photo like that.
Just to confirm, I went back and looked at an old pic that I recall being surprised by how low-quality a result that I got. It’s of my black and white dog jumping, digitally zoomed in, on a harshly lit day, that I later cropped. While the image approaches the results you got, it is still doesn’t look as extremely processed.
The cameras on your phone are undeniably better than mine were, which means that this look is 100% post-processing. Since most photo quality enhancements have been powered by some form of AI for about a decade now, this appears to give a bit more credibility to the sentiment, but not the intent, of @Formfiller@lemmy.world comment: Apple is eating its own dog food, poisoned as it may be.
I’ve noticed it does very wonky things when you use the digital zoom, I was at 7x iirc. Too much data to fill in. I didn’t crop it at all after taking it.
Even with the AI off I’m sure whatever processing they do would be considered AI still. I’m in the fence about stuff like autofill and other automated tools in photoshop, there’s gotta a line somewhere.
How do you propose digital zoom works without filling in data? Optical zoom allows live images, which skips most enhancements, starting digital zoom doesn’t allow Live Photos and starts mandatory automated processing and enhancement.
Why post AI slop?

Brand new iPhone zoomed in, it’s the digital zoom and whatever enhancements it automatically does.

You have to turn off the AI feature or it will ruin your photos with AI
Modern phones have done automatic processing of images long before AI, it is turned off.
I turned the AI off on mine and it stopped doing this AI shit to my pictures
