> Colorization and other techniques—done sincerely and as accurately as possible—are additional tools that can accomplish this in other ways. The article unfortunately doesn't point out why this is a naive take. If you upscale an image for display on a 4k display, you can: 1. Leave an aliasing artifact intact. 2. Remove an aliasing artifact. Now, suppose you have two clients-- one making a documentary about the moon landing, and another making a documentary about moon landing conspiracies. Pick your favorite "sincere and accurate" ML algorithm-- it cannot generate a single image that will be suitable for use by both clients. Perhaps "straining and toiling" is hyperbole. But I don't see an alternative to careful, deliberate study of the primary sources of history. Also-- keep in mind that was a didactic example. When you talk about colorizing films or cartoons, things get quite muddy.
