Life (time) doesn't tend to stand still, either, yet we are able to appreciate photographs.

Would we really benefit from old photographs being AI-animated into "videos"?

Perhaps I'm showing my age, but the older I get the more I feel at one with life's imperfections. I'm fine without filters and HDR ... or colour ... or motion.

I think that the filters, HDR, or the guesswork restorations of old media are similarly life's imperfections - just that the life is more current, compared to the original date of taking these photos.

Yeah that would be pretty cool.
