Damn. What a sad fucking waste of electricity and talent.

Using AI to upscale videos without the creators' permission is evil.

Remember when google promised not to be evil?

Personally I have no use for AI. I'm not doing any science where it *might* be useful and I've rejected it for art.

I recently played with AI photo "upscaling and enhancement" for a few days and walked away with a much greater appreciation for my large collection of toy cameras, each honest in it's own limitations and imperfections. The flawed images these cameras produce are a better reflection of reality than anything that's been through the AI grinders and re-shaping machines; the reality of fried chicken as compared to chicken McNuggets.
