Well, people have always manipulated how they look, through cosmetics, clothing, etc. This is just the latest technique.
Whether this is a good thing or not isn't a new question. My answer is, it's a normal and OK thing. However (as before) it can be taken to extremes or used for fraud. Obviously, these aren't good things.
It's new, too, so it will take some time for us to learn the limits of good taste and good judgement and for norms to develop.
Haha my camera already does this. Filters! Also Meitu, and their other program Makeup Plus can do all kinds of crazy things with your pictures. The VR on them is really neat imo.
The thing is people can usually tell if it's extreme enough. After all we see each other in person sometimes still. :)

I think that's exactly what many, many people want from their camera, and I don't see why it shouldn't be up to them.
OK so in the next release it might make human arms look more buff, teeth whiter, and faces friendlier-looking. Is this really a good thing?

You mean like art directors do with Photoshop for pretty much every magazine with a celebrity on the cover :-)
