I guess so. It's technically AI edited since phone companies use those stupid AI filters to spruce up images and make it look like you're using a large lens by artificially blurring everything not on the plane of this totally unrealistic shallow focus. Then, AI models were trained on these shitty images.

And then, y'know: garbage in, garbage out

My unpopular opinion rant: no one thinks your users actually used a DSLR or MILC to take that selfie. Anyone kit-shaming anyone else these days needs to get a fucking life. So, if we all know the picture was taken with a phone, and we're all okay that the picture was taken from a phone, then phone manufacturers need to stop forcing their users to look like chumps with these ridiculous filters. If you as a user enjoy using filters, I'm glad you found something that makes you happy. If you're a user whose photos look poorly edited because that's what your phone manufacturer decided should be default for you, then your phone manufacturer deserves a big ol' spanking. #SpankPhoneManufacturersNotChildren
