You're looking at a 1/3.4" OF image sensor with 1µm pitch, and an f/2.8 lens - not only is the sensor tiny, but the pixels are extremely tiny*, and it's fairly diffraction limited as well. If you had a raw image from this sensor, you'd notice how it's very noisy even at base gain and brightly lit conditions. Base sensitivity images from sensors with much larger pixels tend to still be quite visibly noisy!

No surprise that the image you get in the end is mostly ML fabrication cued by some noisy inputs.

* For "pixel-scale reference", on a standard full-frame camera, 1µm pitch would result in some ~900 MP of resolution. The pixels are that tiny here.
