Rose colored filtering across an image is one thing, something we all understand. Nobody would say that a black-and-white photo is an accurate depiction but we all understand what a black-and-white photo is. Alterations to specific aspects of a scene, per-pixel changes that are not used across the image, are something else. A camera that detects and alters images where people close their eyes or fail to smile, that will not be recognized. A camera that corrects a scene to make it look as if it were in daylight rather than interior office lights, that too will not be recognized by the vast majority of viewers.

Those are two very different things and neither is new. Of the two, the later is closer to taking a sepia or black and white photo. It's simple grading that's been done for decades. Log video is mostly an extension of Raw photography which has been available to consumers for decades. The former is the more concerning technology and it's been available for at least 5 years on consumer grade devices.
