The Galaxy S23 Ultra Moon photo controversy is still fresh in people\u2019s minds and another Samsung camera feature is in the headlines for the wrong reasons. A Galaxy user recently discovered that Samsung\u2019s photo remaster feature is adding teeth to pictures of a seven-month-old baby. The device in question here is, unfortunately, the Galaxy S23 Ultra once again. But the remaster feature may give you similarly unsettling results on other Galaxy models as well.
\nPhoto remastering is a Galaxy feature available in Samsung\u2018s Gallery app. It lets you \u201cremaster\u201d photos to remove shadows, reflections, and other unwanted artifacts to give you a better picture. It\u2019s an optional feature that uses AI (artificial intelligence) to enhance the photo. You can find it in the More menu when viewing a photo in the Gallery app. Samsung offers a \u201cBefore\/After\u201d slider to quickly check what has been removed or enhanced so you can decide whether to keep the remastered photo or discard it.
\nOverall, it\u2019s a nice feature to have. But Twitter user @earcity has had a nightmarish experience with Samsung\u2019s photo remaster feature. They tried to fix a photo of their seven-month-old daughter using the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Sure, it erased snot from the baby\u2019s face. But the AI decided to replace the baby\u2019s tongue with a row of fully-grown teeth. It even changed the eyes. As you can see in the embedded tweet below, the overall result is quite unsettling.<\/p>\n

Samsung probably needs to look into its photo remaster AI
\nWhile there haven\u2019t been any other reports of Samsung\u2019s photo remaster feature giving such unsettling results, it wasn\u2019t a one-off case for this user. They reached out to The Verge telling that the Galaxy S23 Ultra did the same with another of their daughter. They found the AI unnecessarily \u201cremastering\u201d the teeth of a three-year-old boy as well, though the final image isn\u2019t that bad this time around.
\nBut the bottom line is that Samsung\u2019s AI tech powering this feature may need some reworking. Sure, the publication couldn\u2019t replicate the disturbing results even after applying the feature to \u201chalf a dozen photos of babies\u201d on a Galaxy S22. But that doesn\u2019t mean the feature isn\u2019t glitchy. It can\u2019t be an excuse that photo remastering is optional and isn\u2019t enabled by default. The technology behind it is turning pictures of babies into disturbing images and that isn\u2019t okay. It remains to be seen what Samsung has to say about this.<\/p>\n

Exploring further and wow! Sammy\u2019s remaster \u201ctool\u201d really has a very intense love\/hate relationship with childrens teeth or lack thereof. In this case my 3yr old sons teeth weren\u2019t good enough \u2692\ufe0f\ud83e\udde8\ud83d\udca5 This AI is obsessed with funky smiles \ud83e\udd23#Remastering @SamsungMobile pic.twitter.com\/SiME6XKYom
