Next gen: you go to a music concert and take some crappy photos - low light, far from scene. AI recognizes the artist and downloads artist's most recent high-res stock pictures from GettyImages, has a general model of how a scene is setup, lights, lasers, and re-synthesizes your photo into something with the production quality of a movie concert scene.

In a movie it also resamples the clipped audio with the actual song ran though a "live concert" audio filter, adds some nice crowd noises too.

Next-next-gen: using deep fake technology artist voices a song dedication just for you.

I wrote an app 15 years ago that would detect where you’ve been travelling, and get the best photos from Flickr based on the must see location you passed. No longer need to take photos of the Eiffel Tower.
Next-next-next-gen: BigTech corps offers a machine-brain interface so that you can "enhance" your own senses with the help of external processing power. Your reality is about to change, but not without a ton of ads which you cannot escape.
You get a neural interface that lets you learn and process information 100x faster but there's always an ad in the corner of your vision. Do you accept?
Yet psychedelics and weed to also enhance your experience will continue to be federally illegal.
All angles of a concert or parade are captured and instantly synthesized into a time shiftable fully 3D world. Why limit the output to 2D video?
If crappy phone photos are enough to make a decent depth map, I think Stablediffusion can do this today. The only missing piece would be for the band to train a model on high quality photos from specifically their concerts.

ControlNet is really neat

From a technological perspective those are neat. But AI (or any computer program) hallucinating entire experiences that never existed is kind of disturbing even if said experience is actually nice.
Imagine that but with a video...record a concert with poor audio quality of the band and the phone injects the high fidelity song...
