Google AI can now tell which photos you'll think are beautiful

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so the saying goes, and the same is often true when trying to pick out a perfect photography. Say you've got ten relatively similar shots of a loved one, family pet, or a stunning landscape – which one is the perfect shot and, crucially, why? It's a tough question to answer as there are multiple factors at play. It could be the shot which is the most competent, with no sign of any pesky blur or noise, but, on the other hand, it could also be the shot which catches the light in a way that makes it more appealing than the rest, even if it isn't technically the best of the bunch. Even if we're not aware of it, the human brain tends to strike a balance between technical quality and aesthetic preference when judging photos.
