How does this is “smart”?

> Smart-Crop automatically removes repetitive blank and insignificant areas from screenshots and images to compact them for better reuse

This doesn't sound like there is anything smart about it.

PS Don't take this personally, I generally dislike calling anything "smart", "AI" etc.

Hi,

Thanks for the point. We'll keep improving it to make it really smart one day.

'Smart' generally implies that it can do something on it's own.

I want to crop an image, I give it parameters for how I want the outputted, cropped image. If I use a smart crop function, I expect it to use some engineering magic to determine where the activity is happening in the image, and making it's own estimated crop.
