It already does that and if it could everything would be recorded in a
uniform grey.

I have long wished that I could have the camera take a frame and analyze all of
the pixels for exposure. It wouldn't be good for action but would be great for
still lifes, landscape etc.

While I agree that there is a certain limit of how much can be done
AFTER
the photographic information is recorded. (Note the careful language
here!)
But the software can play a big role in actually recording that
photographic information: it can "thoughtfully" control the hardware to
improve the initial quality of that photographic information. Simple
examples are multiple shots with bracketing of
exposure/focus/...(possibly
focal length, separately aperture and exposure time, e.g. for
DOF-related
effects, etc.).
(But then, with a more capable and complicated (or specialized)
hardware a
more sophisticated software can have more options.)
I'd say that a large portion of what we SEE is what we THINK what we
see,
i.e. a large portion of the image that we see is done in the processing
(in the brain), - and not just what is recorded by the sensor(s) (the
eyes).
The eye would not have been such an amazing and irreproducible optical
instrument if weren't for the brain's ability to process the
information
it receives from the eye.
And just in case you forgot, - it starts with a simple thing: the image
we see is upside down. :-)
And mind that what you and I "see" could be very different. Just
because
our software (aka brain) is different.
But we cannot compare the image in your head to that in mine.
And those in Canada, now, can legally affect that software to boost
those images. (What is called "creative effects" in cameras and
cellphones.)
Cheers,
Igor

There's really only so much you can do with code, before you're no
longer
recording a scene, and are actually generating it, which is art not
photography. Personally I prefer my art to be produced by humans not
by
machines mainly because machine art is kinda dull.
