In quality, yes, but they're only feasible for stuff like batch processing because they're so huge and slow. You can't use them for stuff like scaling an <img>

In quality, yes, but they're only feasible for stuff like batch processing because they're so huge and slow. You can't use them for stuff like scaling an <img> in a browser. Incidentally, the way I always thought it would work is the huge and slow AI would be used to discover a tiny algorithm that just so happens to be an amazing image rescaler. Instead we just ship the whole AI. Anybody know of any work on the former strategy?
