Interesting read on the future of photography. The Real Future of Photography Is Computational, Not Optical

Speculative not definitive. There's fun in time-capsuling these and seeing where things stand in the not-so-distant future.
Wonder how many phone pix undergo even rudimentary editing/adjustment?

Judging by the social media postings, I say most. Maybe not editing persay, but the current filter fad.

There's a difference between focus stacking and cloning.

If it looks good, it is good. I use any trick I can muster to make my stuff look better. I'm not a photojournalist by any stretch of the imagination. I use NX Studio, LrC, PS, and Topaz and to help create my images and I make no apologies for it. The next generation of cameras will have extensive Ai baked into the processors. Good shooters will be better and bad shooters will probably be worse. I hope it makes me better.
