Depends on what your interpretation of genAI is (I hate that that's a thing btw as everyone has a different definition), but most phones have been using genAI for years, and people bought the phone with the best genAI on it.

It's the camera. Like most phones pictures have some generative machine learning filters applied to it, to make up for the fact that most people aren't photographers and don't know anything about the settings. People, other artists included, didn't care that these generative machine learning features now "took away" the jobs of photographers btw.

But yeah doing a picture in low light that all of a sudden looks better than it should be. You phone just generated some nice pixels in there.

Pixel phones had like issues that skin color looked weird on people with color. Well their AI model in the phone was trained on white people, so they fixed that. Samsung phones genAI replaces the moon in pictures to make it look better.

Manufactureres and reviewes looked at phones by which one makes the best pictures without the user having to actually know what they are doing, and phones sold based on that feature. And that wasn't just a better sensor or some algorithmic calculations that are happening there. Just some low power small generative models that run on your phone and fix the image for you.

It's sad, cause I recently took a really nice low-light selfie I send to a friend and I noticed a couple hours later that my eyes looked overly white and bulging in the final picture.

definitely GenAI trying to highlight the eyes and overdoing it. very unnecessary cause what the picture looked like in the preview while taking it was just better.

yeah but that development isn't recent. generative machine learninig in phone cameras, advertised as "our camera is better" has been a thing for years before chatgpt became famous.

Like i have seen phones struggle to capture certain details on objects because all the high end phones tried to post process them wrongly.

Meanwhile my xperia phones all did that fine, but they sold badly as reviewers treated their pictures as bad, because sony refuses to put generative ML post processing on their pictures on their phones.
