I don't think that's an appropriate analogy at all. When colorizing or up-scaling, you're making informed guesses to fill in gaps, and even if it's wrong occasionally, it doesn't matter.
- jacobwilliamroy 6y agoThe process for forming those guesses is the same whether you're generating text or generating pixels. Data is data. Another risk this poses is that video is not as simple as many assume. A naive approach of simply desaturating or downscaling an EiB of video data is not enough to achieve even a 50% level of historical accuracy because that doesn't address the problem of normalizing those processes across different camera models, lenses, film processes, digital scanning processes, codecs etc.
