Will ai replace the dedicated camera?

[Drollic]

Is it possible for ai (let's say in a phone body for ease) to replace a dedicated camera as the processing of an image becomes so advanced, the lens used, sensor, noise, sharpness etc becomes irrelevant?

We're already well into the territory of software manipulation on raw always producing a better image than a cameras jpeg files, providing the user has the knowledge and time. Isn't the ai part just one step further?

Well I have been using Bing AI for a few weeks and I know others using better ones. It will not replace Photography for a long long time. Only caveat is that someone will use AI for Camera Club Comps etc and judges like me will recognise some of them and Disqualify them or those Good Artists will get through.

I probably didn't explain things well in the initial post.

I'm mainly referring to ai bokeh and noise removal as well as dynamic range. So as an example, could a phone with something like micro four thirds tech get to the level of full frame with a high end lens. People still need to take the photograph, but what you end up with is so far from what photography is almost, is it even a photograph anymore.

I can't see Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, Panasonic etc stopping ai being heavily used as it's already here for noise removal and focusing amongst other things.
