This AI hype cycle has dramatically distorted society's views of what's possible with image upscalers.

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

    Security (or other) cameras don’t have access to this extra data

    Samsung’s AI on their latest phones and tablets does EXACTLY what @[email protected] is describing. It will literally create data including parts of scenes and even full frames, in order to make video look better.

    So while a true security camera may not be able to do it there’s now widely available consumer products that WILL. You’re also forgetting that even Security Camera footage can be processed through software so footage from those isn’t immune to AI fiddling either.

      Would that not fall under the “enhanced” evidence that is banned by this court decision?
