The camera could take his one stage further - when you pick the camera up in a well-photographed location, it just downloads the most popular shot from there. This would save you the effort of framing your shot entirely, and you'd always end up with a perfect picture :)

For a less absurdist but similar idea, it would actually be really neat to have a tool that can take a group of your photos and match them with one popular CC-licensed one that adds more context to the scene.

e.g. you and your friends at the base of the Eiffel Tower, and the album automatically has a suitably well-framed picture of the landmark as a whole added as a backdrop, that kind of thing.
