This AI hype cycle has dramatically distorted society's views of what's possible with image upscalers.

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

    Yeah, there’s definitely a spectrum.
    In a lot of ways, the perfect camera for most people would be one that captured a snapshot of how they’ll remember the scene, so they can share the “memory”, or look back and have a focus to reminisce on and reinforce that memory. That’s where that question of how much reality matters, as opposed to perception for consumer devices.
