Have had this show up on my Facebook page several times. Wondering if anyone knows anything about it.
Thanks.

https://witharsenal.com/It's been talked about a lot here. You can do a "Search" to see what has already been said. Personally, I'd rather be in charge of my settings so that I can get the DOF and the exposure that I want. If I want an auto camera I'd use my cellphone.
There has been multiple posts here about them. I see ads for it everyday and it is as tiresome as the My Pillow ads on TV. They spend a lot on ads but many have not received the product yet.
Oh great, as if the world didn't have enough people that think it's the camera that takes the photo, not the photographer, now we get this crap.
In my career, I have had a lot of contact with engineers that thought they were photographers. Not a drop of creativity in a one of them. Just a methodical, over detailed set of rules that applied to any photo. Same process for landscapes and portraits. Just perfect.
I'm leaving town and hiding in a cave preparing for the flood of over wrought responses.
Some "artists" are mechanical also.
Like musicians...some can be so damn technical, yet their output is sublime.
Thus even on the other side of the spectrum, there is great "Art".
But, like you, I think, not so much.
But, much of the "rules" of art, taught in schools are formulas.
Balance of composition, color, etc. along with tension, dissonance, and other things
to evoke emotion.
And yes, these things can be programed into an AI, and probably will produce fine art.
Most likely already is. LOL!
Well............I thought it was an English football team ?

When you leave I hope you don't get a run in your nylons.
A lot of people seem to like the remote control capabilities of Arsenal. However, there are less expensive options for that. The differentiator is the AI. In my opinion, the AI (as advertised) leads to shots that seek mediocrity. Any time a system uses large numbers of "good" or even "great" samples to suggest or control results, the best you can hope for is an average result.
Everything has a right time and place. Arsenal has manual override. Selecting all the settings and pressing the shutter button on my tablet where I can see them better is no different than doing the same thing on my camera except my 82 year old shakey hands aren't ruining the shot by causing motion blur.
Also, with time becoming scarce, letting Arsenal do part of the post processing like stacking and processing timelapse sequences seems reasonable to me. Past worrying about my masculinity, I don't get too concerned about receiving a little help now and then. For those of you who do not share my view, knock yourself out.
The end of their spiel asks for donations to support development. I don't think so!

That comment may be an overlooked hangover from before it became the most successful kickstarter ever. They surely don't need that now. I like their business model - collect prepayments and only order a production run when they have the orders and money in hand - no warehousing, no wholesale compromises, no restocking, no speculative overrun. Looks like a winner to me.
Haven't experienced this so far but Arsenal is an English football team but can't really see them flooding the world with messages. What is the content of the FB messages anyway?

Yes! Good product if you want to turn control of your hardware over to their computer...
