I think they should rephrase. It makes SDR appear HDR. It’s just making up information no? It’s not actually making it HDR just it appears to be HDR?

Making up information? The same can be said for most commonly used modern compressed video formats. Just low bitrate streams of data that gets interpolated and predicted into producing what looks like high resolution video. AV1 even has entire systems for synthesizing film grain.

The way i see it, if the ai generated HDR looks good, why not? It wouldn't be more fake or made up than the rest of the video.
