They are not fake, because you took them with your phone.
The "myth" surrounding Samsung moon photos is that the phone's hardware is taking the detailed images, when in reality, it's primarily a computational and AI-driven process.
The myth is not that the photos are "fake" in the sense of a simple paste-over, but that they are not a true representation of what the camera hardware is capturing, which is a blurry mess.
AI adds details like craters to the image by recognizing the moon's shape and enhancing a blurry input with a learned texture, a process that can create "fake" details not present in the original shot.
