It's important to remember that these upscalers will hallucinate new content. Especially when law enforcement tries to use these to find suspects from blurry photos. See this example from the lower left of their front-page demo where it adds a person to the boat: https://imgur.com/a/Vo3zlO3

#22Those should be legally forced to be called Hallucinators.
Honestly, this is the first time I've seen "hallucinate" used usefully and properly. I get that putting legal teeth on this idea is difficult and fraught with pitfalls, but I believe the benefit outweighs the risk.
Similar to, but more useful than, when food producers lobby for fake versions of their food to be labelled as such, and to perhaps not have that name.

I'm thinking the right way of doing it is to embed in a viewer. So that the original stays untouched but visible quality gets better with new technologies.

#24"Top interior design trends" - title of the login page?
Ah - based on https://kitchengpt.io/room-design
Maybe they're cranking out AI SaaS products to see what sticks. I was going to say low effort, but it's not zero effort and does offer some kind of service. I could have used some AI help for my kitchen design, I hated the process.

#25This looks pretty good! Results of roughly this caliber are already really common with local, and freely usable tools and models though. Picking one randomly: https://github.com/jtscmw01/ComfyUI-DiffBIR
The Reddit StableDiffusion and related groups have a ton of upscaling workflows that use diffusion models, GANS and the like to dream up the additional pixels for extreme zoom-and-enhance use cases.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'll just add one more as a happy customer who would never upload personal photos to some AI service: ACDSee [0] has local AI tagging and super resolution upscaling without any associated cloud services or subscriptions, it's just a one time purchase lifetime license - basically a lightroom classic competitor. [0] https://www.acdsee.com/en/photo-studio/ai/
ACDSee - wow, it's been a while since I saw this name! For the not familiar: it's been one of better photo viewer apps on Windows in early 2000s. At some point I learnt about IrfanView though and moved to it. (And then moved to MacOS). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACDSee
Last time I heard it was before I switched to FastStone

#27What model does this use? Anything that sets it apart from the dozens of other open-source/free/pay upscalers? https://huggingface.co/fal/AuraSR https://upscayl.org/ https://www.topazlabs.com/gigapixel https://skylum.com/luminar/upscale-ai https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/super-res... https://www.upscale.media/ https://ai.nero.com/image-upscaler https://imgupscaler.com/ etc.

This needs a very compelling answer since it's asking for a Netflix* subscription to do 50 images in a month.
* Or whatever streaming service that's providing decades worth of content for $15 a month.

#30Is this post a spam submission?
The website looks like a super generic landing page template; the kind you find when you search "youtube video downloader" and similar.
Take that "#1 AI Image Upscaler" banner for example. #1 according to who? The AI Image Upscaler Academy Awards panel?
