I appreciate the article (eventually) discuss that this is not generative AI—it’s machine learning-enhanced image processing, and it’s not hallucinating and inserting random background characters. This isn’t really a new debate. This is kinda the “it looks tacky to record a feature film at a high frame rate, Peter Jackson”. We have a cultural visual vernacular that guides how we expect certain media to look, and it just feels weird to have a movie from the last century remastered so that it looks like it was shot on the latest digital camera.
