The camera is not as smart as you are

Who knew?
An electronic device is not as smart as a human! Heresy!

But when it comes to taking photos, you'll be much better off shooting on manual. Everyone will tell you this but when you shoot only with your phone or even an entry level camera you'll be like: you know...auto is good enough for me!

It's cool. cool. cool cool cool.

I mean it is but there are reason for this. Like you have no clue what you're missing and that is HARD to learn.
But one idea that it bothers me when it comes to this and many other things of this nature is that so many decisions are being taken for you behind closed doors. You have no clue what's being edited or cut cause you are not asked "are you sure?" "are you sure? " are you sure???".

So decisions happens.And you think this is real. But is not. Cause the colors were different and all that jazz. But think bigger.

As we are more and more at the hand of various algorithms, decision will be taken for us.
I'd bet they'll even say, in the "near" future when we take 0 decisions anymore...that we wanted it this way.

The ultimate "so lazy that.." joke.
