Not only do phones have the upscaling blur, there's also a telltale "painterly" sign of convolutional neural network based processing that I see everywhere now especially in Google products.
- MSFT_Edging 3y agoIt honestly makes some photos lose detail. Something you could make out in pixelated form just gets destroyed in the CNN processing.
- jebarker 3y agoThat's an interesting observation that human vision can make out detail from a noisy signal. Non-generative CNNs are typically going to filter noise due to the loss functions used. Generative models could in theory learn to recognize whatever signal in that noise humans are queuing on and guess at the missing content. I think there'd be resistance to generative models in photography pipelines though based on the "made-up pixels" argument.
