Samsung would very much like us (and its shareholders) to know that its new phones are the AI-est phones that ever AI-ed, and the Fold 6 that I’m testing comes with a new tool called “sketch to image.”
Draw a rough sketch on a photo or an empty note page, and it will use generative AI to turn that thing into an image. I shrugged it off as just another AI thing when Samsung announced it onstage at Unpacked — but y’all, it’s really good. So good that it worries me a little.
Is the definition of photography changing in front of our eyes? Is our understanding of truth in images transforming at an unbelievably precarious time for our democracy? Yeah, but also, I took a picture of a rabbit and AI let me put a tiny top hat on its little head. What a time to be alive.

Is it possible to decode how we feel from our movements? How can emotions be studied “from the outside” by using empirical methods?
To answer these questions, a large international and interdisciplinary research team led by the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics (MPIEA) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, has developed an integrative scientific methodology.
Using artistic and digital means such as motion capture technology, the researchers developed the EMOKINE software to measure the objective kinematic features of movements that express emotions.
