How AIs are rewriting photographic history

If you send your holiday photos to Google’s Autoawesome processor, it will snip out the best smiles and poses and combine them to make pictures of scenes that never actually happened.

So Google’s algorithms took the two similar photos and created a moment in history that never existed, one where my wife and I smiled our best (or what the algorithm determined was our best) at the exact same microsecond, in a restaurant in Normandy.
