This stuff is sick. If we had a real-time upscaler on a zoom telescope it would be a fantastic tool while traveling. I'd get a kick out of that.

And what would fake detail in the real world give to you?
it doesn't have to be "fake" detail, an AI can use multiple frames to gather much more information than is available in a single frame and composite them into a much more detailed image
This makes sense, it is called super resolution, but you don't need any AI for that, but I see that AI companies are trying to hijack the term.
I can pretty easily distinguish useful LLM output from non-useful LLM output though others on this website seem to have lots of trouble. I think I can pretty easily do the same for things in the visual field. To be honest, part of why I'm successful is that I can draw use out of imperfect tools.
Oh boy. Fake detail is well, fake. It doesn't allow you to learn anything about the world beyond self-deception. But of course, if this is what rocks your boat then be my guest.
Skill issue.
Traveling to a real destination so that you can look at fake AI generated crap on a screen instead of the actual surroundings.
