I have been using neural-enhance (gh:alexj) and Topaz tools to upscale PAL/NTSC artworks the last three years and would not be so judicious in describing these tools. They are hallucinating what the model assumes an upscaled image should look like and not enhancing in any way as the word is understood. The original image ceases to exist. A more honest term might be “Render As Upscaled” or “Generate Higher Resolution Image” (likewise “ML”, not “AI”).

When playing around funny things happen too: recursive upscale/sharpen and analogue artifacts begin resembling topography, molten metal etc.

Now imagine this being fitted into military drones, which it almost certainly is.
