I don't really understand the point of this usecase. Like, can't you also imagine what the photos might look like without the damage? Same with AI upscaling in phone cameras... if I want a hypothetical idea of what something in the distance might look like, I can just... imagine it?
I think we will eventually have AI based tools that are just doing what a skilled human user would do in Photoshop, via tool-use. This would make sense to me. But just having AI generate a new image with imagined details just seems like waste of time.
- gretch 1y agoIf you want 2 people to look at the same photo and share the same experience, you have to fix the photo. If you leave to imagination, it's likely they each imagine something different.

- bibabaloo 1y agoWhy take photos at all if you can just imagine them?
- bjackman 1y agoWell, that goes to the heart of my point. I take pictures because I value how literal they are. I enjoy the fact that they directly capture the arrangement of light in the moment I took them. That So yeah, if I'm gonna then upscale them or "repair" them using generative AI, then it's a bit pointless to take them in the first place.
