I'm not the person who suggested it, but I wouldn't mind having it fill my (wide)screen when watching. That said, I understand that some film/tv uses the frame

  Still seems to me like adding fluff - it seems a bit impossible to me that the AÍ would add anything pertinent to the plot. It would add “stuff” like corridors and background sets and maybe someone out of focus. Do the black bars actually bother you that much? You know there are cropped 16:9 widescreen versions of some of these shows (which I personally detest, but I work in the business of moving images). Genuinely interested in why this bothers people.

    It doesn't bother me much (if the show is good, I don't realize it after maybe 5 minutes), hence why I said "I wouldn't mind..." instead of something harder. But it'd be interesting to see what would happen if shows were expanded frame-wise like this... The 16:9 cropped widescreens you mentioned take something away, whereas expanding the frame with AI adds something, and theoretically if you don't want it you can just matte it out and still have the original. It seems like a more advanced version of Ambilights. I think we still have a ways to go before the results would work well without looking like those nightmarish deepdream videos where things are constantly shifting, so society will have plenty of time to discuss the merits.
