The catch is it is more like an artists interpretation. Anyone expecting that it will truly fix old damaged pictures to be like they were is going to be disappointed. Anyone just wanting to fill in some gaps will be excited. (Same for just procedural generation of some images, I suppose. Would be neat to see what it can do from a very low fidelity outline of a house/forest/etc.)

As opposed to it being truly magical, I guess?
I think the expectation has to be set that this is great for creative use cases. Not so much for forensic style ones.

To that end, "reconstruct" is not so much reconstructing what was lost, but more "fills in holes" of photos. If you read the title expecting something to literally be reconstructed, you are likely to feel lied to.
