A U.K. woman was photographed standing in a mirror where her reflections didn’t match, but not because of a glitch in the Matrix. Instead, it’s a simple iPhone computational photography mistake.

    Folks, the semiconductor devices in these cameras just work this way. Ccd chips (are those still what’s used?) have been a thing for years. They take a bunch of smaller images, stitch them together and then do some basic post processing on the device. This is just how these devices function. No one’s writing code to rewrite reality. At most, there is some simple AI being used to touch up things like lighting and skin tone, but it’s the same sort of tech being used on you on a zoom call.

    The real question to be asked here is did she say yes to the dress.
