“AI”
Sharpening, Denoising and upscaling barely count as machine learning. They don’t require AI neural networks.
Sharpening is a simple convolution, doesn’t even count as ML.
I really hate that everything gets the AI label nowadays
The “ai bad” brainrot has everyone thinking that any algorithm is AI and all AI is ChatGPT.
just today someone told me that Vocaloid was also AI music, they are either too dumb to make some basic fact-checking or true believers trying to hype up AI by any means necessary
My simple rule is that if it uses a neural network model of some kind, then it can be accurately called AI.
To be fair, back before ML natural language programming, non-tech folks often assumed coding was just telling the computer what you want in plain English. Today that’s what vibecoders do
It would be nice if it ever gets as good as the Star Trek bridge computer. Maybe we can save more whales
To save the whales you also need transparent aluminum https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxynitride

They don’t require AI neural networks.
Sharpening and denoising don’t. But upscalers worth anything do require neural nets.
Anything that uses a neural network is the definition of AI.
But you can use AI for that
Nice

Knowing Google, they care more about blurring the lines between AI and reality to confuse and force it onto people than they do about saving a few dollars on storage costs.
It’s very likely to do with compression codecs to save money.

I KNEW THOSE SHORTS I’VE BEEN WATCHING HAD THE “AI LOOK” GOD-DAMNIT! With the smooth faces and the weird plastic looking contrast.

There is no AI panic. There is a distrust against the intention of the companies pushing it. Can you trust Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Anthropic etc?

Legitimate critique of this demonic technology is not FUD!
