The judge was absolutely right to allow the defense to make sure no AI upscaling is used. It has nothing to do with Luddite views.

- donarb 5y agoThere was no AI upscaling. If you enlarge an image between two white pixels, the inserted pixel is white, you will not get an interpolated black pixel.
- dagmx 5y agoThe judge didn't merely ask whether any such thing was used. He continuously pressed his own uninformed opinion over the evidence rather than trying to educate himself on the matter, especially given "expert" testimony https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/12/22778801/kyle-rittenhouse-bruce-schroeder-screenshot-zoom-in https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/12/22778801/kyle-rittenhous... That's throwing his own incorrect mistrust of the technology into things. It wasn't based on precedent or founded by rational examples. He also didn't provide alternate means for video playback that he would trust. It's reductionist. At the very least, a competent prosecution should have then pulled up content in VLC and said "the source code for zooming is here and verifiable"
- colejohnson66 5y agoInterpolation algorithms (such as bicubic) used for zooming are not “AI” anymore than a decompression algorithm is. There’s no “training” involved; it’s an entirely “pure” algorithm. Same input in gets the exact same output out.
