Good point, though you have to beware that text-aware image enhancement sometimes replaces characters with what it thinks is a more likely character from context.

I've seen my phone camera's real-time viewfinder show text on a sign with one letter different from the real sign. If I wasn't looking at the sign at the same time, I might not have noticed the synthetic replacement.

Like the JBIG2 algorithm used in a zero click PDF-as-GIF exploit in iMessage a while back: https://projectzero.google/2021/12/a-deep-dive-into-nso-zero...

The vulnerability of that algorithm to character-swapping caused incorrect invoices, incorrect measurements in blueprints, incorrect metering of medicine, etc. https://www.dkriesel.com/en/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres...
