A new front in the long-running battle between censors and those who oppose censorship.
The use of deep neural networks for this purpose seems inevitable, in hindsight.
We live in interesting times.
How do you recover information that is not there? Best you can do is guess what’s supposed to be there.
That’s why I hate watching 4K AI “enhanced” historical films, it is akin to rewriting history.
I never heard of this before. What kind of enhancing does the AI do?
It tries to predict patterns from blurry shots. It might introduce artifacts that were never there: some drawings I upscaled turned distant woods into houses. You can see why this might be bad when viewing something for historical accuracy.
