I used to laugh a the "let's enhance" (and still do), but watching generative image models get better, I wonder if fiction will become a reality, abet with lots of hallucinations. At least the enhanced reflections of perpetrators' faces will have a lovely mid-journey art style. classic compilation of "Let's enhance" - https://youtu.be/LhF_56SxrGk https://youtu.be/LhF_56SxrGk

"The eigenvalue is off" was a nice one. Nothing will beat NCIS though - for example where they 'enhanced' a picture where a reflection in an eyeball.

  Nothing beats NCIS in abusing lack of knowledge around computer and software in the general public: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bwUdjeu4C6A https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bwUdjeu4C6A (getting hacked through a power cable and fighting with 4 hands on a keyboard)

    I had never seen this show before and somehow stumbled across the 4 hands on a keyboard episode. It was awesome inspiring how terrible it was

      Rumour is that the script writers tried to outdo themselves in who can slip the most ridiculous tech scenario into an episode.

    Nowadays power cables are USB and definitely a threat vector. NCIS was scifi ahead of its time.

In Enemy of the State, one of the computer techs does an "enhance", and when they notice a bulge in a carrier bag he points out that it could just be an artifact of the enhancement rather than representing something real in the photo. Some studio hired a non-idiot consultant for once.

Love that one. My favorite is "Enhance the reflection in her eye." :-D
