> The camera is a vehicle to capture the realness of the world around us, including the imperfect moments

I mean... that's your opinion, not a fact :)

I kinda agree, yet I will make small edits to my pictures to make them more like I felt than how it looked. Maybe in a happy moment the sky was more blue to me than it actually was and I want my picture to reflect it. Maybe I was happier and less tired than the picture remembers it and I want to fix it.

If some people want to AI process their pictures to make them match their memories better, or even to shape better memories, who are we to judge?
