If this phenomenon is so obvious, why is this story the top post on HN? And why did it take a picture of the mirror scenario to make people aware of this issue? Hell, the article even implies that this an issue only with images of mirrors when that is of course completely false.

You seem to think that all lawyers are dumb, and unable to defend against photographic evidence. If you think a lawyer would not be able to find a witness that fully understands how the modern mobile device camera systems alter images, you're just not being honest with yourself. The Apple propaganda videos tout the fact their cameras are doing something with "AI" even if they don't tell you exactly what. To assume that people are so unawares that it took this picture is just not being honest with the conversation

No, I do not think that all lawyers are dumb. What a bizarre thing to say. Why derail an interesting conversation in such an aggressive way?

I guess we have different definitions of aggressive, but okay, wasn't meant to be aggressive. Your comment about "so obvious" seems a bit obtuse to me and is where the conversation went off the rails. Why are you even questioning how obvious this is one a source image as the one from the TFA? Just based on that, I rejected your premise of this conversation as not being very conducive to anything approaching realistic.
