Is This Computer Algorithm Better Than Photo Editors?

Long ago computers and machines began to replace blue collar jobs but as creatives we thought we were safe. Have we now reached the tipping point when computers can replace even the photo editor? In recent months, EyeEm, an image-sharing platform, has been working on algorithms that, it says, will "augment" the work of photo editors. One algorithm analyzes pictures to determine what is in them, using deep learning to recognize thousands of concepts – from objects to colors and even emotions. The other algorithm references a database of millions of curated images to determine the quality of a photograph and give each one an "Aesthetic Score."
