Do you by chance have comparisons of what the terrain actually looks like without the AI upscale? would be interesting to see how much it gets right.

We plan to eventually add some real paid high-res imagery to the map just as a comparison, but for now you would need to look at the map at https://satlas.allen.ai/map (select Super Resolution) and compare it to a source of aerial imagery like Google Maps or Bing Maps at the same spot.
Sounds good, it's been a little while since I've touched anything GIS related, but it was kind of fun while at the same time stressful for me as a junior developer at the time. I'm definitely curious how insanely accurate AI upscaling will become with stuff like this, at least in terms of getting a good amount of the terrain correct.
So you're currently providing the proposition of what might be accurate, but not accuracy.
