That seems like a gimmick and I actually prefer SDR video that is not upscaled. There is something ugly about those AI treated videos. They look fake.

The RTX video upscaling feature works really well, there's a bug in the Firefox implementation that allows you to switch between native and upscaled side by side and the difference is striking. I don't have an HDR monitor so I can't tell you how well this new HDR feature works.

They are fake. Ultimately it’s not recovering lost detail, it’s making shit up

These remind me of the Samsung debacle about recognizing moon and emplacing a high quality texture of it into the image shot by camera.

Exactly. This is akin to upscaling or frame rate interpolation. No consumers want this, they turn it off in settings.

I don't think making things up is the problem, it's if it's believable. If it's indistinguishable to a viewer, then who cares. I never would have thought the HDR of the clouds was "made up".

Maybe I'm odd, but a big part of art to me is seeing things how the creator intended it to be seen.

So I calibrate all my media consumption displays etc. I could never see myself using some automated SDR -> HDR conversion like this.

Even if it looks natural, it doesn't look like it was supposed to, and I want to see it how it was supposed to look.

I would use it on every single video I've ever made myself, because intent had nothing to do with how my videos look. They were made with then best camera I had available, and HDR has only been available relatively recently.

This is a tool that I want to use. If nobody can tell I used it, that's a good thing for me. If you don't want to use it, then nobody is making you.

"I don't think making things up is the problem, it's if it's believable"

Depends of course if it's being passed off as reality. Slippery slope and all.
