In the future, with further development, similar systems could be developed to add detail to pictures and video that are low resolution. One current category that lends itself to this is blurry CCTV images. This is just statistical extrapolation pushed to the absurd, and various civil rights disasters waiting to happen. Look at the outputs compared to the ground truth - the faces look absolutely nothing alike. It should be a real concern that some will see these systems as magical - being able to recover information that just isn't there - and advocate for their use in real life situations, such as security cameras as mentioned in the article. How long until an innocent person gets prison for life or the death sentence because a neural net generated a face that looks closely like theirs out of blurry footage? This is basically a modern polygraph in the making - "garbage in, garbage out" framed as science.
