A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I've seen fan-made AI upscale works that don't suck, but I expect cartoons benefit more from the technology than live action footage ever could.
I’ve watched most of DS9 upscaled. And it was an improvement for sure. I never noticed anything strange like these examples.
But I also don’t think the upscaling/cleanup was this aggressive.
AI upscale generally gives a perceived improved fidelity at a loss of some finer detail and grain. It is a trade off and it is almost never a objective improvement
