> It's an interesting observation, but I couldn't replicate this by taking a photo of a Google Images search for "north face logo"

Low-level artifacts for screen photos are different, so whatever neural net messes things up here, acts differently.

Well, naturally, but neural nets are pretty good at feature extraction even in the presence of noise. I also just printed out his unblurred example at a scale approximating a real logo and took a photo of it. Came out just fine.

I didn’t think much either until I saw this photo he shared in the comments:

Seems to be more than a one off odd photo and an artifact of something the pixel does re: image processing.

Well, two-off. https://old.reddit.com/r/pixel_phones/comments/1c98wpq/i_not...

I wouldn't expect this to be a very good test as I'd think the camera could easily tell the difference between taking a picture of a screen and taking a picture of a jacket.
